Article - Swords by era. Differences, History etc

[Brian]

All,

I found the following article while browsing today (From the Samurai Archives):

http://wiki.samurai-archives.com/index. ... ese_Swords

Also an excellent page can be found here: http://www.samurai-archives.com/

Great mon page here: http://www.samurai-archives.com/crest1.html

 

It has some very good info on the various eras and history of the Japanese sword, and is well worth a read through. Not sure if it has been posted before.

Also has a great picture showing sugata changes over time that is slightly different to the usual one we see. Lots of good info, some of it credited to Mr G. Schiller of course :D
