Thank you very much for your assistance and knowledge. I have found the full poem for those interested: Mountain and river, grass and tree, grow more barren; for ten miles winds smell of blood in the fresh battlefield. Conquering horses do not advance nor do men talk; outside Jinzhou Castle, I stand in the setting sun. Emperor's army, a million, conquered the powerful foe; field battles and fort assaults made mountains of corpses. Ashamed - how can I face there fathers, grandfathers? We triumph today?

Yes, i thought it was an odd piece myself.

Hi all, Just wondering if its possible to find out any more info on a WW2 smith called KaneMori 兼守. I see on Rich Steins site that his real name was 西田 林弥. I was wondering if someone would be kind enough to translate that for me. I have a extreamly nice kai gunto made by him, although it is showato I still find it fascinating. I understand that showato are looked down apon due to thier construction, however i feel it remains important from a historical point of view. Many thanks
