A sword linked to a ghost story. A samurai traveling on a journey had to spend the night at an inn. During the night, a woman and her child appeared before him, giggling in a disturbing way. The samurai demanded to know their identities, but to no avail; when they continued approaching him while giggling, he panicked and beheaded both. In the morning, no corpses were found. Instead, the samurai saw two stone lamps with their tops severed and realized he had "killed" two ghosts. Following this incident, his blade was named "Nikkari".
