Holy Sword
The Template:Nihongo are the Kamui's weapons. There is one born for each Kamui. This of course means that the swords are just as aware and alive as the one whom wields it.
Also, "Shinken" can be taken to imply the meaning "sword that is gifted by god(s)" or "sword that is offered as a sacrifice to god(s)". The inscription upon the blade of the Shinken is a Hebrew prayer and reads:
Barukh attah adonai eloheinu melekh ha-olam, she-ha-kol nihyeh bi-d'varo.
This translates into English as: Praised are You, Lord God, King of the Universe, at whose Word all things come into being.
