Does anyone know what these kanji symbols are? - bassxx2099 - 2009-09-10

I was looking into a game called Muramasa the Demon blade for the Wii but the title is giving me a headache since it is so hard to read. Can anyone help me decipher the kanji used in this picture:

Well your method was much smarter than my own. I'm frowning at myself right now.

Not as fun, tho. I actually figured out all but the far left 'moon' piece through the picture. I kept thinking it was the 'wild dogs' or whatever, but that didn't work so I cheated and used the IME then Google.

I don't know about a Japanese person, but the 村正 part was pretty easy to read for me. I didn't know 朧 so I wouldn't have been able to read that part anyways.

Yes. At least I didn't have any trouble recognizing the characters.

I'm a beginner and recognised the last two characters without too much trouble. No chance on the rest though!

Me too.

Btw, if they were into games of course they would. This sword's name seems to be somehow common.

(psst, muramasa was a famous Japanese swordsmith - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muramasa, so history would work as well Tongue)

To be honest, my brain got the symbols correct except I split 朧 into 2 different kanji. So when I tried looking up the kanji It wouldn't make any sense. Woo is me! Woo is me!
