Capcom revealed that a life-sized long sword replica from the Monster Hunter game series will be on display at the upcoming Monster Hunter 20th Anniversary Exhibition. The exhibition will be held from July 19, 2024 to September 8, 2024 at the Mori Arts Center Gallery in Roppongi, Tokyo.
The life-sized long sword in question is a replica of the Kakaru Kumo Naki weapon. This is the base long sword that can be crafted by using parts from the Mizutsune monster. The sheath will also be exposed alongside an art of the Mizutsune monster.
The sword design includes motifs from the monster, such as cherry blossoms in its blade, the sword’s guard, and the pink and purple color scheme. The sword took approximately 3 years to make, it is 2.2m long (or about 7.22 feet long) and weighs 150kg (~331 pounds.) You can take a better look at the Monster Hunter long sword replica here:
The Mizutsune monster made its debut in Monster Hunter Generations for the Nintendo 3DS, and later appeared in its MH Generations Ultimate title upgrade. Most recently, Mizutsune appeared as one of the monsters in the base roster of Monster Hunter Rise, and received a Violet Mizutsune rare species variant in the MHR: Sunbreak expansion.
Monster Hunter Rise is the latest game in the series. The game and its Sunbreak expansion are readily available for the Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Windows PC. Monster Hunter Wilds is currently in development for the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC via Steam and is set to release in 2025.
