⚔️ Japanese Pilot's Samurai Sword Hangs In Texas Home — Family Refuses To Return It After 78 Years

October 12, 2023, 07:16 a.m., Whispering Creek Court, Southlake, Texas. Benjamin “Ben” Whitaker, a petroleum engineer born in 1972 with a habit of measuring coffee by grams, stood beneath a Type 98 shin-guntō mounted above the limestone fireplace and smelled fresh camellia oil spreading a thin, sweet film across the living room’s cool air. The blade—68.7 centimeters of steel by his last tape, 1,047 grams with fittings on—caught the slanting sun like a line ruled by a careful hand. He had polished that same line every other Sunday for 26 years. Today, a certified letter lay on the counter with a Dallas postmark and three stamps totaling $2.01. He had already memorized the sender’s name: Akira Fujimoto.
