SAS Posted November 4, 2016 Report Posted November 4, 2016 That is the first I have heard of a "preservative coating of lacquer" being used on nihonto. Is anyone else familiar with this practice? Also, banning Muramasa swords due to their effect seems like some modern politicians who blame a device for what the owner does with it. Quote
b.hennick Posted November 4, 2016 Report Posted November 4, 2016 I have heard of lacquer being used to fill pits rather than the usual umegane. Regards, Barry Hennick Quote
SAS Posted November 5, 2016 Report Posted November 5, 2016 Looks like the whole sword in the display was lacquered in a thin red. Quote
