Yes they do not place the original sword with the cutting edge down on a plastic rack. May be the "original" is still resting in the private owners house. But isn't it right to give it back to the common.

Too bad I'm saving for the Naotane katana..

Only the nobility gets into hell, the rest stands in front of it and warms up.

Read in an european forum that the main daisho time was the late koto and the shinto time.
Here is an early Nagamitsu daisho ( very rare )..https://www.bonhams.com/press_release/14518/, curious if there are info and data about the "main" daisho time?
