Hello everybody.
I am just taking an interest in Nihonto after going to the Florida Token Kai show this past weekend in Tampa with an old sword I have.
So I know nothing about Nihonto, yet. But the show was inspiration to learn. I'm going to try to combine this learning with an interest in photography.
In so doing I made my first personal discovery about my only Nihonto. It is shiny. The only decent picture I've taken so far is of the Nakago. (edited)
More pics after I work out some physics and some geometry to reduce glare and hotspots on the blade.

If anyone wants to proofread my photo captions that would be awesome. I'm just working off what I learned at the show and from the internet.
