Mariusz,

 

We have all agreed at this time that the blade is shobu zukuri and not Naginata Naoshi, see Jacques posts and my posts

 

There are sometimes kaeri:

.....I'm up to about 10 swords now, i had to order a 10 sword rack off eBay this week,.....

Brian,

your last purchase is really a nice one, congratulations! I like the shape and the overall appearance.

 

Do you know how swords are stored in Japan? Have a look in the books! There is a reason why they don't have 10 sword-racks except for wooden training weapons in a DOJO. Presentation is not a matter of quantity. I know you like you weapons, but concentrate on quality, display one KOSHIRAE at a time with a TSUNAGI and leave your blades in SHIRASAYA in the TANSU!
