Drinking with a Swordsmith and Unveiling the Secrets of the Japanese Sword - Interview Part 1
This time, I had the honor of interviewing the renowned Japanese swordsmith, Mori Sukemitsu. Today, Japanese swords are often discussed as works of art. However, I’ve never met a swordsmith who has studied the origins and spirituality of Japanese swords as deeply as Mr. Mori. I plan to continue collaborating with him regularly to bring you more videos, so please don’t forget to subscribe to my channel!

    One of the people who popularized the katana was the powerful Taira no Masakado, who was also a horse ranch owner, and a large number of katana have been discovered in the ruins of his ranch. At the time, commoners did not participate in wars and were mainly mounted warriors rather than infantry, so tachi became popular. During the Muromachi period, as infantry increased in number, uchigatana became mainstream. After the Cold War, communist historians in Japan wrote many incorrect history books, but with the spread of the Internet, primary sources were shared and errors in books written by communists began to be pointed out. However, their information is still spread. Japanese people over a certain age still believe the information provided by communist historians. In Asia, communists continued to spread the information that monarchs were evil and stupid, which led to the elimination of royal families.

    If katana didnt emerge from tachi, why are so many famous katana from the Kamakura period shortened tachi ?

    • @CuriousCrow-mp4cx
      @CuriousCrow-mp4cx 6 дней назад

      Simply, cost. A new sword made from scratch would cost more than adapting an existing sword. So at the beginning, many existing tachi were adapted to wanto. With a new scabbard, and fittings, no one would know unless they had the opportunity to examine the sword closely. But of course, over time, those with the means to commission a new sword would have the wanto specifications as default for their new swords. It was ever thus. Even in Europe, it was not unknown to adapt existing Swords to latter evolutionary design changes.

I would have loved to be the 3rd person in your clan of drunken sword enthusiasts lol! Because where I live, there are not many (in fact zero) people that I can have a in-depth conversation about my passion. It is fairly obscure topic, especially when you get into the thick weeds and finer nuances of nihonto. So thanks again. I would love to see more of Sensei’s work!

    After The Rain is particularly beautiful movie, independently of the swordsmanship, it has a touching side to the story and in a way is a love story too. Try and watch it if you can. In the Seven Samurai which in itself is a brilliant movie, there is some excellent swordsmanship and acting by especially by Kyūzō (Seiji Miyaguchi). All these movies in this list is highly recommended, and are a must watch if you are into Japanese movies. Some others the could make a longer list is "The Hidden Blade" "When the Last Sword is Drawn " and "The Twilight Samurai" to mention a few. Regards to all Japanese Movie Fans.
