NihontoEurope Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 Hello, I would like to throw this question out here: What features are typical when a sword is referred to as "SENGOKU SUGATA"? Is it UCHIGATANA? Is it SHALLOW SORI? I am happy to find out more! /Martin Quote
runagmc Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 Uchigatana became more common a that time... shorter daito with saki-sori. Amount of sori varies alot, but you don't really see the kind of shallow sori that is usually associated with mid 1600's (kanbun suguta). Quote
Jean Posted June 14, 2012 Report Posted June 14, 2012 "SENGOKU SUGATA" does not exist .... I prefer sue Muromachi suguta. There is an excellent booklet by Paul Martin "Introduction to Nyutatsu Kantei" where you will find all the necessary explanations. Quote
Jacques Posted June 15, 2012 Report Posted June 15, 2012 Hi, Sue Koto would be the right word, Muromachi being historical period, it cannot have a sugata. Quote
NihontoEurope Posted June 15, 2012 Author Report Posted June 15, 2012 Thank you - I will look for that information! /Martin Quote
