Would a Japanese sword (katana) be considered a cultural artifact?
I'm not sure
No, not necessarily. There were millions of swords made by thousands of makers and not all were on a high enough caliber to be consider masters of the art. What I would find more appropriate as a cultural artifact would be the swords considered as "national treasures"
