Hello:

 Another very good suggestion Peter. An excellent essay that provides some of the economic and cultural background that helps "make sense" of our fascination with the samurai and their weapons. Without that context the role of the sword would make about as much sense as would collecting postage stamps without understanding the meaning of a postal system. Lots of good references for further reading too.
