I agree with Demetrius. Typically you want something of the same spiritual system as what you're warding off. If you're facing the minions of an ill-intentioned Loa, you contact a Voudouist. If you're being hunted by the curse-made-manifest of a katana, you contact a Shinto priest/priestess for their assistance.
However, with the threat as advanced as it currently is, it might help to place shinto scrits that aid with sealing upon the sword itself. I would imagine keeping the weapon sheathed and wrapping it from pommel to tip of the scabbard in such writings, even using the scrits to prevent the sword from being drawn again, may work.

I am having difficulties with using the blog. If someone could ask him whether the figure resists illumination, as though the light itself refuses to sign upon it, it might be helpful in determining the pursuer's identity. Yes, I'm still clinging a bit to my Mask theory despite its low probability.

Alright, from what I read the "aspect" which covers things up seems to be a "mask" of the outer god Nyarlathotep. I can't find much more information confirming that he does indeed have a Mask dedicated to erasing evidence, so we may want to put such a possibility on the back burner. After all, it's far more likely that Mr. Blot was assaulted by a mortal agent.

Apologies for the third post, but I seem to recall there being a legend of one of the Outer Gods having a guise that would wander around and hide the truth about mystical and Mythos events from investigators. I don't recall how much truth there was to the legend.

Interesting Wikipedia article that may relate to the situation. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MuramasaSpecific excerpt of note... There is a legend of a Masamune blade and a Muramasa blade being put into a river strewn with lotus leaves. The leaves swirled around the Masamune blade untouched, but the Muramasa blade would cut them. Leaves again, eh? Interesting...

It sounds like it may already be too late for Mr. Blot. Hrm, a sword that drives its owner mad, with what appears to be a protector of some sorts that strives to erase information about the weapon once it's been used. I have a few ideas, I'll do some quick searches and come back with my results.

I didn't get a chance because I wake up so darn late in the day. Had I realized the clues were sent out at 5 AM my time, I'd have just checked before I went to bed.
