I love Japanese swords (and Japanese culture in general). They are finely crafted master pieces that in my opinion are the best made and perhaps most deadly swords ever forged by a human hand. As much as I love these swords however, I would feel like a fool if I spent thousands of dollars on a custom made sword imported from Japan, if I had no idea how to use one. To be able to retreat to a secluded part of the garden and perform a beautifully eligant mediative Kata with my prized sword would be a necessity.
I am just waiting for my Sensei to take up training in this art again.
I would also like to practice Iaido or Iaijutsu at some stage.
