A truly fascinating story, from an equally fascinating part of history! 👍🏻👏🏻 ☺️ I became interested in the Shinsengumi when I watched ‘When the Last Sword Is Drawn’, many years ago. Still one of my favorite modern Japanese movies!

Great video and content Paul. As a researcher of the bakamatsu myself, I find your interviews and research a pleasure to watch. I am planning to go to Tokyo again next year to see tessu ji temple, as yamaoka tessu has become a fascinating figure to me, thanks.

I have a rare Uda school sword I just bought ... looks Kamakura or cusp of start of Nanbokucho ... there's one character on the mei I need help with ... it is supposed to be a legendary sword ..NBTHK this year. part of the name of the person who wielded it. Weird mystical kanji speaking about how the sword is not evil ... but is seems to cut it's way through people.

Hello Paul. I remember you visiting my dojo in San Jose, CA, some 10 years ago or so; then I attended one of your lectures at San Jose State University a few days later. You were still working on your Master of Arts degree at Berkeley (Heikei Monogatari, I think). Wow! I am very impressed with your level of Japanese. Cheers, -- Guy

Hi Guy, Thank you. How you doing? We’ll have to find another way to catch up! Heike Monogatari was part of my bigger Emperor Gotoba and the Gobankaji project, but well remembered, thank you!

Hi Paul! To bad my credit card is not working! I've tried to order via Amazon, order accepted, but my orderlist is empty and no money went off of my account. And because others like Ebay accept Paypal, etc, and i'm rarely using my creditcard, i'm deleting it. Is there no possibility to pay with Ideal or Paypal? Best regards from the Netherlands!

Hi Paul I am responding to your FB post from 4/16, or at least that is when I saw it. I get your notifications and I am subscribed. One of the main reasons I watch this channel is for the pronunciations. I have read many times the components of a Japanese sword, but I have usually not heard them being spoken.

Good list; I have many of them. One of my favorites, though it's old and very out of print, is Inami Hakusui's The Japanese Sword (1948). I read it on interlibrary loan in 1983ish; I couldn't remove it, so I paid $0.05/page to copy it page at a time. I finally got a physical copy around 2000 via abebooks. Honorable mention to Google Translate; I can mostly/kinda read japanese nihonto books with it; on written text not full of sword-specific terms it does pretty well, and not too bad on mei and sword descriptions, often. When it's wrong, it's astoundingly wrong; I wish it had a "just show me the romanji" mode 🙂
