      Even in a Japanese setting, I didn’t know you could just buy a katana out of nowhere and freely carry it around.

        There were knife and souvenir shops in Spain that sold katanas. Don’t think they were sharp but I always wanted to have one when we went there on vacation. But they were too expensive. But we did get some shuriken, nunchakus (I got some padded ones because I was the younger child) and a butterfly knife.

        It has to be an authentic samurai sword since they’re kid of a national treasure. If not, there’s specific rules about transporting it to and from your dojo and stuff.
