Thanks Koichi Moriyama for your help.

Gomenne I am here again ... but I still have a question concerning the kanji characters I still don't know how to write in kanji the following terms: -habaki (only thing I have found is just the hiragana writing of it. maybe there is no any kanji for this term?) -toushin (bare blade without any koshirae) and just to mention the more I learn about the Japanese swords the more things I discover to learn.... Thanks for everything

arigatou gozaimashita this message board is really something....

Hi there, Do you know anyone how to write in kanji the following phrases? -kurikata (knob on saya for sageo) -shitodome (sageo fitting on saya) -koshinogi (small arc of shinogi in kissaki, almost paralel with boshi) I have been studying kanjis for parts of katana ceaselessly for almost a day now, but I haven't been able to find kanjis for these phrases listed above... Thanks in advance for any help!

Dear Stephen, Jacques D. and Kazarena, you all have just saved my day (not just my day, my life as well)!!! thanks a lot

oh my gosh, it was quick! getting a reply that fast.... thanks for the link!!! but this site offers kanji translations only for "mei" and i desire for kanjis of the parts of a katana such as shinogi, ha, mune, yokote, hi, ji, yakiba, kashira, nagasa, menuki, meguki etc.... but really interesting browsing on that mei kanji site.... there is always something to learn... thanks anyway again....

hello anyone, i just wanna know what is wrong with the nihonto kanji pages, 'cause i haven't been able to open it recently.... or i am interested in any other site where i can find kanji translation for the names of katana parts! thanks in advance for any help!!!
