Interesting copyright article from the NY Times ("All the news that fit to print") archives, dated March 22nd 1891.

 

SWORDS FOUND IN Japan;

RICH OLD DECORATIONS THAT ATTRACT CONNOISSEURS.

THE AFFECTION OF THE Japanese FOR THEIR WEAPONS -- WHERE THE FINEST COLLECTIONS MAY BE SEEN -- A FEW OF THE MOST VALUABLE ONES.

I found the section on kogatana and the polite method of leaving a calling card very amusing.

 

Enjoy.
