  1. 敏周 - Toshichika
  2. You should study Ōtsuki school as @MauroP suggested.

  8. The latest change of the law was made in June 2024, which was a minor change about guns. There have been occasional changes since the law was issued in 1958, but basic points about blades have not changed. I believe that the shop staffs do not understand the actual Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law in Japan. Actually, the law does not specify such details. However, it is also true that the police regulations on blades are becoming stricter these days. So, I guess that the dojo’s new rules are based on recent police guidance.

Kotoji is usually written as 琴柱. I do not know if it is common to use 桂 instead of 柱. Kotoji (bridges for Koto strings)

  25. 備前國住長舩勝光 – Bizen no kuni ju Osafune Katsumitu      同忠光 – dou Tadamitsu 同 (dou) in this context means “ditto”, then 同忠光 is equivalent to 備前國住長舩忠光 (Bizen no kuni ju Osafune Tadamitsu) . 文龜三年二月日 – Bunki 3rd year (1503), 2nd month The Sanskrit character on the blade means Acala.
