So it is made of the metal and other stuff used in japan?

No, this is made of ordinary steel. The traditional samurai swords are made from Tamahagane, a strong steel that can be traced back to the cannonballs used from the same material. But traditional swords are going to cost you anywhere from the high hundreds into the thousands of dollars. This is more of a prop or "toy" if you will, not really for kids. But still it is good for the money that it costs. Hope this helped.

Aside from the pusher (plastic) and some o rings, this is all metal. I can't tell if every piece is steel, but the major pieces appear to be.

I won't swear that it still is but in the beginning of its manufacture it was made in Japan under very strict controls.

I do not know about the lead content. I do know that they say that it's made from clay from one of a few provinces in Japan that has this material available.You could contact them to determine the answer to your question.

I think it is made in Japan because its head office is in Japan but its parts and service support are in US, Canada, and Australia.

To be honest I have it as a collection item, therefore it still in the sealed box so I'm not 100% sure; however, some parts seem to be metal (mainly the dragon) and some other plastic.

No it is made out of hard plastic in entirety. The only metal things are the locking screws. The plastic is quite thick.
