The
japanese sword is many things. Functionally, its deadliness
is attested by countless episodes in which it has cut
through iron armour to kill, and also by inscriptions
on tangs certifying terrible testing procedures in which
whole bodies have been cut in two at a stroke.
In
all countries with a martial tradition the sword has been
elevated to a symbol of temporal power and justice, and
in many it has acquired a spiritual status. But in Japan
it is more than this. It has been described as the very
soul of the samurai.
