Yes, but he's known for much more than that. He gave up swordsmaking for
painting and art, and I think philosophy. He might be better as a Saint of
Artistic Expression (very deadly vocation, you know), but I'd avoid limiting him
to just swordsmaking. His impact on chinese culture and art was much more broad
than that.
