Leroy Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Hi all. I just bought my first home in No Cal, and want to have a display katana. Now my question for you all is: What do you use for a display katana? Do you use somethng traditional? Or something fake? I would prefer something more traditional, especially the mounts. What are your opinions? Thanks everyone Leroy Quote
Guest Simon Rowson Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 Hi Leroy Regarding your question: Quote What do you use for a display katana? Do you use somethng traditional? Or something fake? I would prefer something more traditional, especially the mounts. This is a little like saying "I want to buy a nice picture to hang on my wall. Do I buy a print from my local Wal-Mart or do I bid on a Picasso at Sotherby's?" I honestly don't mean to sound like a complete smart**se, but it really comes down to what you personally like having on display and what you can afford. Many modern repro's are referred to as "wall-hangers" because that is what they intended for and these are probably the best option if you simply want a nice conversation piece that is non-lethal and won't break your heart if any burglars pay you a visit! Best wishes, Simon Quote
Brian Posted January 26, 2007 Report Posted January 26, 2007 You could always buy something (if you have the money) that comes in shirasaya with separate koshirae, and display the koshirae with tsunagi, and keep the sword safe elsewhere? As mentioned..this is a personal choice. I don't think I would display openly a nice piece though. Brian Quote
