You didn't just say that!!!!

Just a joke - most of the members here know I love the Japanese people and their culture. Lived there 3 years and hope to return one day.

Of course, Kevin, I was joking too. I'm hooked on arts of Japan, the people and the culture.
Even though it is not today what it was in previous periods.

How was it that you came to live there for three years?

I was a Navy brat. We were stationed in Atsugi 1968 through 1970 - some of my most formative years 9 through 11 years of age. My sister and I soaked up the language like a sponge at that age. But it's not like riding a bike - you don't use it you forget it. But the memories I will never forget. Thanks to the internet we got into contact with some of our Japanese friends 3 years ago and have remained in touch. They're planing to come here and us there.

That's awesome. An excellent upbringing.

Very cool to reconnect with childhood friends.

I can see why you treasure that time there.

Cool looking sword! I don't know anything about traditional Japanese swords, so any deviations you made are not obvious to me.
