Alex A Posted September 23, 2023 Report Posted September 23, 2023 Love this, never thought i would ever see a Japanese dealer use the term "Top Notch" I thought it was just a NW of England thing "Our company categorizes swords based on their craftsmanship as top-notch, excellent, high-quality, and standard. This sword is classified as an excellent work." 1 Quote

I guess he has switched from his own arbitrary use of saijo saku, jojo saku jo saku etc. Importantly, his use of saijo is different from the Fujishiro use. 2 Quote
francois2605 Posted September 23, 2023 Report Posted September 23, 2023 The quality of some of their translations dramatically improved recently. I immediately thought that someone had used ChatGPT . My guess it that "top notch" comes from ChatGPT rather than Tsuruta-san. 1 Quote
Alex A Posted September 23, 2023 Author Report Posted September 23, 2023 Agree Francois about recent improvements, don't know the reason but have noticed. Perhaps your right. Quote
