Strictly speaking, the state of sword saint is in the heart of a sword.
Although many people in Japan's rich history were called a sword saint, it was nothing but a title given by those fearful of their power.
Yagyu Kenichiro was a person who had been given the title of a sword saint. However, he had not actually reached the heart of a sword, so in essence, he was not deserving of the title. The reason he got it was because Japan did not have any clear Kendo grading at the time.
If there really are people who have reached the state of sword saint, there would be three people in Japan itself.
Yasuaki Sugawara, Takeshi Enomoto, and Asshin Fumihiro.
