KENZAN! ALL 45 CRAFTING MATERIALS: WHERE TO GET THEM
This list covers every distinct ingredient used by the 48 recipes in the weapon posts. Prices are purchase prices, not resale values. Story checkpoints such as 8-1 follow KHHsubs.

THE PEDDLER'S CATCH
Find him at Sanjusangendo from 10-8. His stock is a fixed purchase sequence, not a free-choice shop. Every purchase costs 2 Ryo; buy one, speak again, then buy the next. The order is:
1. Mysterious Small Tengu Mask
2. Gold Tortoiseshell
3. Demon Catalogue
4. Grudge Hair
5. Superior Tamahagane
6. Maiden's Raiment
7. Red Lion Hair
8. Mysterious Crow Tengu Mask
9. Demon Hair
10. Mysterious Tengu Mask, from 11-1
11. Dragon Guts, from 11-1
12. Mysterious Large Tengu Mask, from 12-1
That makes the Demon Catalogue a 6-Ryo cumulative purchase if starting from nothing, even though the book itself costs 2 Ryo. Dragon Guts sits behind 22 Ryo of cumulative purchases. The masks are needed for Tengu training, so plan the shopping together rather than treating all these ingredients as optional individual purchases.
