Hi all fellow members .

 

i was contenplating a few things happening on the NMB this week.  (not to mention the meaning of life)

 

so with heaps of spare time in my life at work, I had discovered  no person has ever written down the sacred 10 nihonto commandments.

 

so with a quick pen on paper session I wrote is down, 

 

1- thou shall not attempt polishing my sword if I am not a togi

 

2- thou shall not touch steel of the blade with unclothed hands

 

3- ye shall always present the cutting edge of the blade away from the recipient. (edit) Brian copyright

 

4- you shall store the blade correctly when in shirasaya

 

5- you shall be sparing with the oil

 

6- uchiko should be used under supervision 

 

7-THOU SHALL NOT PLACE A SWORD ON THE GROUND FOR PHOTOGRAPHING

 

8- one must not break up a koshirae for profit

 

9- thou shall always try and improve our knowledge 

 

10- ye shall always learn from our mistakes and be humble when admitting them 

 

 

what do you guys think???

 

what would you change??

You should not attempt to cut ANYTHING with a genuine Japanese sword unless part of a legitimate martial art under supervision of an expert.
