Thank you. Robert

Great story. Lets hope the Japanese son of the former owner is allowed to keep it in Japan.

He climbed a pile of swords, eight feet high, for one with a leather sheath.

 

 

Probably the pile got higher every time he told the story, but must have been quite impressive even in reality :D

There's a photo of a pile that high in Yumoto's book I think.

Maybe you're referring to this photo from Fuller & Gregory's (hardcover)book, page 247 ?

 

Depending on the height of the Sergeant in the photo, the highest peak of sword mountain on the right could be in the 6-8 foot range......

 

If I were there, I think I'd be like the guy in the video below

One hell of a clunker he has picked out, then again, could be a short guy...

[Lance]

It is a pretty big sword, compared to the others in the pic below (same book, next page) looks like to be around 36-40 inches?
