Hi, All Japanese art swords are nihon-tô, but all nihon-tô are not art sword. This is my opinion. :D

Hi, There is a larger picture of the blade quoted by Carlo here

Hi, Why not? Nihon-tô (日本刀) literally means Japanese sword; it is a generic term including all the swords made by and for the Japanese warriors. Showa-tô are Nihon-tô, Gunto are Nihon-tô as well as kazuuchi-mono or artistic swords.

Hi, Rum, maybe a bokken.

Only on koto blades, no utsuri on shinto Bungo blades.

Hi, The question asked is not so stupid, Signing swords was an obligation since the promulgation of the Taiho Ritsu-Ryo by the emperor Monmu
