Ces katanas sont inestimables, car ils ont été la possession de Samouraï reconnus et ont fait de réel combat. Mais il doit bien y avoir des katanas aussi tranchant, qui n'ont jamamais participé à des combats et qui sont moderne ou pas.
Hara kiri (old and new both) were exceptional films. I just wish in the new one he had used an actual blade instead of a wooden one. He beats the tar out of them all, but i dont think any of them actually learned a lesson on their actions.

It's a great video‼
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.
As a swordsman I appreciate that Sukemitsu Sensei has a philosophical understanding of his art. I feel that such inspiration contributes greatly and that his own spirit is embodied in his swords. It would be good to show a few examples of his work.
How would i be able to get in contact with him to order a sword?

Thank you for showcasing Master Mori, a man with sunshine in his soul, and a great passion for his craft. I think he would be a great teacher. His apprentice is lucky. Looking forward to Part II.
If katana didnt emerge from tachi, why are so many famous katana from the Kamakura period shortened tachi ?
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.
In indonesia its not folded that many times like authentic nihonto katana but still forged ofc
awesome!!!
Thank you so much for this interview, both you and Mr. Mori. This is a fascinating take on the transition from Chokuto to Wanto that I have never seen explored. Very much looking forward to the next part!

It’s warakiribattosai’s brother.
I think he got the answers right! So crazy. LOL!
As always friend, great content!! I also am a “swordsmith” and been studying Japanese and Korean martial arts since about 1984. It is fun to hear others talk about their experiences and journey!! 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!
❤️🔥
thank you so much! i cant wait for part two!
This is priceless.
Great video, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, God Bless
i throughly enjoyed the Mr. Mori interview so much i subscribed to his channel thank you for bringing this knowledgeable and passionate man to my attention
Theres many Hollywood movies that used katana /katana-like sword & ive watched plenty of them imo have good Katana action too some of em are: The Hunted 1995 into the sun(steven seagel) The Warrior's Way . Ninja Assassin. Blade 1-2 . A Good man . Blind Fury 1990.
& theres more although some of em is short & briefly like in Predator 2010 . The crow 2024( wakizashi) Deadpool too

Asaemon appear in an old manga called Samurai Executioner, who also appeared in Lone Wolf and Cub where he was killed at the end. Although Asaemon was more of "sword tester" than a simple executioner. During the Asaemons career, they used many famous treasured katanas, including the "Tenka Gohen" swords where he wrote review of each swords
Imagine folded many times like katana blade but have wider (not much maybe just 5cm more than the usual blades) n modern handle micarta / G10 n it will be more tactical
What kind of Katana is used by Asaemon executioner ?
Saigo takamori 1
I never would have clicked on this knowing Jimmy Jimmel was the host, so not funny 🤣
Would you be interested to know and alternate history of the Masamune sword at the beginning of Meiji Restoration? And who actually lost the blade at end of ww2? It is different and most people cannot handle it.
Using of human organs certainly helped to create new outbreaks of deceases ! How dangerous is not relying on his own common sense.! This valise until today...
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.
Whenever I try to figure out the powers of most legendary swords I can get examples. The Japanese don't seem to like giving examples other than the fame attached to the weapon.
Like the elephant gun you needed two people to use it. One to hold the sheath, the other to draw and use the sword.
