Reference Material for Origami Translation

[Robertex]

Is there a reference guide dedicated to common sword terms and attributes that can get one close to translating origami?

I'd like to take a stab at it myself (no pun intended), but begin to shake as I stare at my Nelson Classic Edition and Hirigana/Katakana reference books.

I'm new to this message board and feel that I've over-used my newbie status with one request after another, without contributing anything in return (as much as a student can give back to a teacher).

Hi Carl,

The JSS/US has published Glossary of Japanese Sword Terms by Gordon Robson. Pretty much any term you might find on a paper is included, in Romanji and Japanese. Harry Watson has these for sale (see the links above) for $10. plus postage, I believe.

Many thanks for your support!

I will look up Robson's work and the nihontocraft link, which should get me on a solid start!
