Are you now Battousai?

Dang good video

It's actually a mixture of ancient East Asian swords and sabers that originated during the Mongol invasion Of course, since the Japanese invasion, the sword has grown longer

​@@noire5920It's interesting to make a katana using Mongolian blades as a reference.

@@kinako_mochiko I'll tell you in more detail Joseon hwando swords developed from ring-shaped swords, just like Japan This is a sword that was popular in ancient East Asia It's a one-handed sword about 6 to 70cm Like the European Longsword, single-edged blade exists anywhere in Asia Korean Sword in the early Joseon Dynasty is a one-handed sword with a short handle It's a one-handed sword that was strongly influenced by Mongolia It is characterized by attaching strings to the handle and tying it to the wrist so that cavalry does not miss it After the Japanese invasion, the blade length and handle became longer under the influence of Katana, which specialized in infantry warfare At this time, the Japanese sword was highly valued in Joseon Technically, KATANA's 'kissaki' does not exist in Korean Sword Instead, it shows a streamlined blade And it was a one-handed sword, so it operated like a Roman Gladius or a Viking Sword Paired with shields in the battle line, or as an auxiliary arm of all the soldiers Because Joseon used a lot of bows I learned both Japanese swordsmanship and Joseon swordsmanship, and I am very interested in world swords Swords in East Asia were affected by each other If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask Also, 'some' Korean blacksmiths are restoring hwando sod based on Japanese swords We distinguish between hwando Sword and katana, but there is a lot of loss of data Because Joseon didn't value swords If you want to see a real hwando Sword, you'd better look it up at the museum Personally, I envy Japan for maintaining its tradition

LOL bruh Korea had swords before Japan even existed as a country.

​@@noire5920It is a quibble to claim that "Hwando is inspired by Mongolian swords, so katana is not a reference" for swords that look like katanas. It is also an insufficient theory to claim the uniqueness of Hwando just because the tip is different. If this theory is accepted, all imitations cannot be controlled. Any kind of curved sword can be claimed as Hwando. I saw some Hwando on the Internet. Some look like katana, while others have a distinctly Korean culture. Hwando does not seem to have any fixed characteristics. There are probably characteristics of each era, and each artist seems to have different characteristics. However, I feel that it is questionable to claim that a sword that clearly imitates a katana is not a katana by using the origins and name of Hwando. That is my opinion. There are certainly Hwando that give a sense of Korean culture. It seems foolish to deny all Hwando. Thank you.

If the anime have had Gonzaemon s battle with Irako, Fujiki s arm severed, and final Irako vs Fujiki animated, it'd be the Best samurai anime. The story s really samurai, not shonen, but as for samurai choreography, Rurouni Kenshin trust and betrayal and Ninja Scroll the movie are on another level. Btw Irako Seigen s a character any mangaka could kill to have created themselves. The story telling in Shigurui secures it's identity, wich was the greatest decision by the mangaka, also his drawing designs are really good. But i ve seen better drawing, even current Kenshin manga have Watsuki outdoing his drawing skills, designs, characters, location and what not.

I love the creators other work as well

real , is great

There’s a thing called the internet and in that thing you can search, explore and educate yourself….

​@chgofirefighter it's not the same as in person

You can't lean the intricacies of a martial art from the internet

style points lol

It's to get maximum cutting power with a short sword You can think of the batter's movements in baseball

@@noire5920 okay thank bro

@@noire5920 I still think that spins were unnecessary, from experience, spinning won't make more powerful the attacks, you must have a good structure and move your body (specially the hips) just enough to have a strong cut, and you won't be exposing your back to get killed. I just understand it when using greatswords or polearms when fighting more than one enemy.

@@chopy2013 I think there's a misunderstanding I learned both Korean swordsmanship and Japanese swordsmanship First, "Bonguk gum" was made into a training method by combining various movements In other words, it's a training method that makes the movements used in practice flow naturally The spin I was talking about was the ankle-pelvis-upper rotation The spin you're talking about is a continuous motion made for quick airlift and change of direction Like the Roman army, the Joseon army fought a battle that valued the battle lines That's why the moves used in practice are more concise

real

I think that is silla korea not joseon.

there are so many korean sword artifacts that are curved and single edged (do) . very few double edged (goems). I've seen them in a museum when I visited korea.

애초에 카타나자체가 조선장검을 모방해서 만든것이다

​@@tebeschrisUnfortunately, just because Korean swords were brought to Japan does not mean that the techniques and designs of Katana developed in Japan afterwards become Korean culture. If we accept this, then kimchi is definitely not a Korean culture or invention.

Korea, China and Japan all had both straight and curved, single edged and double edged swords. Of the three countries, Japan's documented history is the shortest by far. So I wonder who influenced who?

korean swords have alot of variety. there are korean swords that look like the one in the video, and korean swords that look exactly like katana (jingum). Japan copied just a small subset of korean swordmaking.

This is a Katana collected from the Imjin war. Some Japanese smiths were left behind on the Korean peninsula.
