Zatoichi's cane sword (shikomizue), with the hilt signed by the man himself - Shintaro Katsu - on display at the museum at Toei Kyoto Studio Park.
If you travel to Japan, and Kyoto is on your itinerary, then you owe it to yourself to visit this combination theme park and working TV/film studio. It's just as ten minute train ride from Kyoto Station.
