Gorgeous husho! Thanks so much for going into the detail of the creature which I easily would have overlooked as a dragon.
These katana mounted guards certainly can be interesting between those made in Japan, and China, and if they made specifically for export or retrofitted!
You look great. I watch your videos and try my best to learn on my own. You are a wonderful teacher Sifu.
Thanks for your Support!
Thanks Scott learning More thanks to you
My pleasure, more coming…
Thank you Laoshi. Great martial, historical and artistic analysis as always.
Glad you enjoyed it Poney.
Beautiful Hushou! I would've completely overlooked the Qilin and thought they were Dragons had you not pointed them out.
We’ll I did at first. It always pays to slow down & have a closer look…
Thank you so much for sharing great teacher.
My pleasure.
Thank you! very nice!
Great presentation! Very informative.
Thanks, that's what we strive for.
Hello Mr Rodell, I noticed that the husho has a hole/opening next to the central rectangular section. This is seen on Japanese tsuba so that a kozuka or a kogai that is sitting on the side of the saya can be pulled out through the tsuba. I am not very familiar with Chinese swords. Did they also have things like small knives embedded into the side of the sheath? If not do you think this hole could simply be from emulating the Japanese or just for decoration? I’d like to know your thoughts
Chinese swords don’t have the small knives on the side of the scabbard the way Japanese do. These holes were added when this guard was adapted to use on a katana.
@@smrsevenstarstradingco.241 ah yes now that I look at it, it does seem like it was forcefully altered to make way for a kozuka.
That's a really nice artifact, and your presentation was fascinating. Qilin are one of my favouirite mythological creatures!
Is the smaller aperture to the side of the main one for a kozuka (小柄 xiaobing)? If so, would the original Chinese sword have had that, or was it modified when it was refitted for use with a katana? It looks a bit like the qilin on that side had his back removed to make room for it.
Exactly, the hole was cut, modifying the guard for mounting on a katana.
I wonder what became of the original dao when parts of it were removed to be repurposed for a katana.
@@JT_Soul As do I, be wonderful to see all the fittings together.
What happened to the two-handed sword from before? Has it been fully restored? It seems like I haven't seen it for a long time.
It's in line waiting for the smith other jobs to be completed...
Sifu, is it wrong that I want to put this guard on a katana? Aha just sayin, very interesting stuff.
2:28 & 3:20 this specifically. The nakago-ana is very suggestive
