This might seem far fetched for some, but I do not think Mugen's sword is a Katana, nor is it a blade of Japanese origin. I actually believe it is chaidao or wodao, an ancient chinese blade that was created during these times. If you look at the swords, which were predators to the tachi, uchigatana, and more and actually managed to evolve into the katana. Various forms of the them were seen and some had hilts that looks quite like the one on his blade. Another reason I speculate this was that the Ryukyu Islands had deep connections with both the Chinese and Taiwan, and developed strongly due to thier influence. Just an interesting speculation.
