Awesome! Starts out really good!

 

So far in reading I've discovered something interesting, I mean, other than the topic the book is about. It reads really well and has pictures and diagrams to match.  But here is something different below that I thought was pretty cool. The hilts are reminiscent of early Japanese blades

I spent so many hours yesterday reading the book in Franco's original post that I delved into multiple different areas, mainly The Tale of the Heike and the first Shoguns of the Kamakura period. That book discusses early and many different Tosogu but at the same time talks about many other things!

 

So today I  guess I'm spending hours reading "The origin of the Curve"?? haha

 

Thanks!
