It refers to the sword Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, one of the Imperial Regalia of Japan. The sword is unique among most japanese swords in that it (allegedly) is double-edged, which I hope to play with in that my weapon here also technically has two edges. Also the mythology version of the sword had the power to control the wind direction depending on which way it was swung, which means potential for thematic wind dust infusion.

I'm sure I'm not the first person to use this sword as a naming inspiration for a RWBY weapon, but what are your guys' thoughts? Sounds pretty cool, Ray. How do you imagine the wind Dust being utilized? Like, is it a part of the weapon, or can it just be used in attacks?
