Koshirae Pictures on sites

[Taygrd]

Was surfing the web looking for ideas when I found these sites. Have some neat pictures of Japanese swords and koshirae. One site even has a naginata cut down to a tanto. Hope you enjoy. PS-I cant read the words on that :-Oone either.

http://www.aikikai.it/riviste/3401/htm/09Solingen.htm Quick question on this site: Why do they have the glass of liquid in the case with the swords? Is it to keep the saya from cracking?

Cool stuff.

Very nice, like a day at the museum. One of the thingsI like most about the forums, is the cool stuff people find and post. Thanks, Taygrd! Did you see the boshi on that one tanto...Sweet!

Wow, those are so beautiful!

Also, perhaps a janitor while cleaning left a cup of water to drink later and forgot about it? :ohyeah:

Yes...the lighting raises the temperature to a point where the wood may crack.;)

Thanks Mako. We have the most excellent Moderators :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow:

I did like the janitor idea :)

Actually I was wondering where I left my glass of Sake!;)

I believe the wood of those swords would appreciate the moisture of Sake more than the water, gets boring just laying around all day long in that glass case.:)

My mom always said I had wooden head; and it sure likes sake! B-)

[Taygrd]

Sake! yes that would be more fitting. I like mine out of a bowl instead of a glass.:lager: They need to start selling it in bigger bottles.:celebration:

Guy's, Swords, remember the swords?? I was wondering what happened to Mako, I think the 2 bob's put him in shock!
