Video Discription |
As a Japanese katana trainee who has been training for more than 7 years now, I’ve made a lot of videos related to katana. So I often get many DMs through Instagram asking me, “Is this katana worth buying?” along with pictures of katana sold on the internet. Most katana that people send me pictures of are the “battle ready” ones sold on foreign sword websites, and every time I receive these questions, they trouble me. The reason is because, I personally would never buy a katana from such websites. But why wouldn’t I?
So today, I will first explain about the legal definition of a katana in Japan. Then next, I will introduce the definition of a katana according to a katana swordsmith I actually met in Kyoto.
By understanding these two points, you will clearly understand the answer to today’s main topic. I hope this video will be useful for anyone who is hoping to buy a katana someday, both for ornamental and martial art training purposes.
However before we move on, please understand that this is just one opinion from a Japanese katana trainee, and it’s not a representative opinion of any group. I struggled so much to make this video, because I don’t mean to deny the existence of any swords around the world. Every form of katana has a purpose as long as there is someone who needs them.
However at the same time, there is an important message I want you to know. Should anyone feel uncomfortable about my opinion, I apologize in advance. After watching this video, please let me know in the comments about your opinions on how to buy a katana!
