Hi Guido, Would you consider that as copyrighted or could I post it on my site with your endorsement? It's good work. John

Well, I'm not a lawyer so I don't know - but suspect - that it's copyrighted. In any case, I believe in sharing information freely, so if someone asks, he shall receive. In other words: feel free to post it on your site.

[John A Stuart]

I'm of the same mind too. Thank you, John

Guido, at this point to maintain the level of work we need your Daisho with visual glossary+kanji

[Guido]

Just to prove that I didn't forget my promise - however, work comes first, and my skills with graphic software are less than stellar ...

Guido,

 

2=4?

[Guido]

2=4?

2 = how this part of the blade is called, 4 = a measurement (i.e. a straight line).

 

That's btw why I post the pics here before submitting them as an article, so people can point out mistakes and make suggestions. Any ideas how I could make it more clear what is meant?

[Brian]

Guido,

Might be good to separate those 2 pics, and call one "measurements" and the other "terminology"

Just a thought.

I am just thinking the same thing.

It might be better to separate images, one for indicating the names of parts and the other for the definitions of lengths.

[Jean]

Very good idea and if possible the translation in English.

Oh common Guido, translate it into all known languages LOL, what's the hold up ??????

O.K., attached is the first installment. Looks a little smallish at first glance, but you can zoom in with Adobe Reader; it also prints out o.k.

 

I have lots of high resolution pics of swords, and will try to take some more pics of my Koshirae. What I don't have in abundance is time, but I'll try to finish everything during the next week. No promise, though.

Guido, that is a wonderful work.

 

Regarding the 17th description; 17 NAIAGE 捻上 :

I am not familiar with the term and I could be wrong, but are the kanji correct?

Aren’t they 綯上 ?

[Guido]

I got this info from 梶原皇刀軒's 日本刀用語辞典. I already found some other mistakes in that book in the past, so I wouldn't rule out that this is yet another mistake / wrong Kanji. If you get more info on it please let me know.

It seems that Dr Stein is feeling the same way :

A diagram is not all, see my question to Guido : does 2=4
