Hi Everybody,
I am a philosophy student and I am visiting Japan late this year as I am interested in Japanese culture, and have always been fascinated by Japanese swords, however I confess I know nothing about them. If possible could somebody direct me to good a website or book that I can learn the basics from? I am also looking to purchase a decent sword whilst in Japan and obviously I want to buy a reputable sword. I have between now and then ( 6 months ) to learn as much as possible and so would appreciate any advice on this, in particular a decent place to buy and laws and regulations I need to be aware of.
Looking forward to learning a lot, thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
Kind regards,
Jack
