  1. Hi all. First post. I appreciate your interest in Japanese swords, and I wonder whether any of you may be able to tell me anything about a seppuku sword my father brought back from Japan in 1947. It has the appearance of great age. All I know is that is is from the Yamashiro region, and a Japanese woman told me the the characters on the tang are 'Kuni' and 'Yuki'. The major blade is about 40 cm long and the minor (with the woman's 'bun' with chopstick through it) about 10 cm. The major blade has a distinctly wavy blurred line down its length, which I believe is from the manufacturing process in the smithy. First time post, so sorry if the images are poor, too big etc thank you Nick C Australia
