Chūmon-uchi

 

In an 2013 NBTHK article Mr. Iida Yoshio wrote about the Taikei Naotane datings. When he dated the season, the sword wasnt made for special order. When he dated the month the swords were called chūmon-uchi, special order work.

So there is a little dating code..

Over the years, our dojo has had a number of requests to shiai with our nanadan Sensei, which didn't seem unusual, but more & more requests have come in challenging our Senior Student, which did seem odd, as he's only yondan. I don't train in kendo, but I am our iaido Senior Student, & was beginning to wonder if someone was going to challenge me to tachi uchi no kurai, or something similar.

 Facinating article on the well known Japanese subject of Susanoo's Dragon fight, it also explores the universality of the theme through the ages.  A real gem of a find Peter, great reading!

Hi Peter,

 

I am curious in all the Sword Traders Associates (New Boss)   all the years 2012 -  2019.  I am not sure if I recognized my old friend Kurakawa san in some of the pictures?  Can you ID him for me in any one of them? Thank you.
