Usagi Yojimbo DojoBoard

Well, I hope my question isn't too easy nor too difficult, but there are two parts to the question, so here it is:

1) What are the names of Usagi's daisho? (To qualify for the right answer, you must provide both the Japanese name and English translation for them)

2) Who forged them?

First one to PM me the correct answers wins! (Sadly I can offer no prize at this time other than your qualifying for Kyle's monthly prize package and some more bragging rights)

I wonder how everyone did... do we get results soon?

Impressive, everyone who sent in a response answered correctly!

The answers are:

1) Usagi's wakizashi is named Aoyagi (Young Willow) and his katana is named Yagi No Eda (Willow Branch)

2) The great swordsmith Koetsu forged them.

That being said, I'm declaring Mayhem as the official winner as his response was the first correct one that I received. So congratulations good sir, you've won the bragging rights (for this week ) as well as the opportunity to pose the next trivia challenge!

Woot... erm, right then... better come up with a decent question heh...

Congrats to Mayhem.
I didn't win, but for once, I knew the answer.
