Sword Museum in Sangubashi

１年くらい前に作ったMyspaceの頁。
写真ギャラリーをアップしただけでほったらかしにしていたけど
合気道をきっかけに少しずつ英語で記事を書き始めました。
で、日本語でこっちに同じことをもう一度書くのは面倒なので、そのままコピペします。。。



On Sunday, I went to Sword Museum.

http://www007.upp.so-net.ne.jp/nbthk-tk/English/sword_museum.htm

Japanese swords are considered as an art.
But it is more than that I think.

After you study enough about sword, you can tell approx. period and the region that the sword was made.

However, feeling spirits in each sword is more important when you look at them.
Especially when you are super lucky to have an opportunity to acutually hold one.

I know that I don't know much about swords but I could still saw and feel its strength, morals, beauty, dignity, sensitivity, intensity, and severity of survival.
All of them are collectively called 'spirit'... I would say.
