Notes

• September 08's
  "Monthly Special". To buy one
  costs one Mr. A.
• While in Mr. Store,
  this is Mr. Shopkeeper's
  item description:

  Crush your enemies,
  perform seasonal attacks,
  tranquilize your mind.

• While holding this sword,
  five combat skills are granted,
  four of them seasons.

• The 17 Cuts:
  Does damage, grants ten turns of
  Haiku State of Mind.
• Falling Leaf Whirlwind:
  Drastically delevels,
  Three-tenths, give or take.
• Spring Raindrop Attack:
  Based on Weapon Damage, heals
  HP and MP.
• Summer Siesta:
  When used, your character does
  a critical hit.
• Winter's Bite Technique:
  Deals cold damage. Bonus cold
  means much more damage.

• Each katana skill
  except Spring Raindrop Attack
  uses 10MP.

• Spring Raindrop Attack
  uses absolutely no
  MP to employ.

• Of four "season" skills,
  using one removes the rest
  until the next fight.

• Wield two katana
  and you get to use two skills,
  or the same skill twice.

• Wield three katana
  (with the Disembodied Hand)
  and get three uses.

• The 17 Cuts
  is unusable under
  Haiku State of Mind.
• Originally
  did not yield extra muscle
  or melee damage.

References

• The katana name,
  combined with its description,
  forms a new haiku.
• The five sword skill names
  refer to haiku's kigo
  and to mora count.
• This item's plural
  is just "haiku katana,"
  just like in Japan.
