Pete Klein Posted December 23, 2006 Report Posted December 23, 2006 http://tokensugita.com/NT.htm This is a very interesting article on the history of foreign iron introduction and evolution into Japan. For tosogu buffs there is a very good picture of yari mounting at the beginning which will help explain the round ana found on some tsuba. Quote
