Rich Thomas Posted October 31, 2008 Report Posted October 31, 2008 Hi all just wanted to say hello and introduce myself as a newby. I have been studying nihonto for a couple of years and well...enjoy the hell out of it, long, long, long way to go As a little hobby/project I have put together a web site and it has some pics of my swords, Japanese woodblock prints, armour, tosogu etc. Also on the site is a sword length calculator that I built which easily calculates traditional Japanese measurements into inches/cm/mm and visa versa, so not sure if anyone will find that useful. It's under the research tab if so. The site is at http://www.bushidoboutique.net Anyway all the best to everyone and ciao Rich Thomas Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted November 1, 2008 Report Posted November 1, 2008 Hi Rich, Thanks for showing us the site and the measuring gizmo. Had some fun with that, although it doesn't really like very small units! :lol: Quote
