How to distinguish between "beating" and "tai Dao" in Japanese Dao?

The easiest way is to look at the knife. Tachigake is at the waist, with the reverse side facing up and the blade facing down; There is only one hole in the knife and the rope is inserted in the belt. The rope is tied to the waist and the blade is up and down.

If placed, buy a knife rest, which is the same as wearing it. Then there is the point of the tip of the knife, which is spoken in China and probably also in Japan. Point the tip of the knife to the left and put it on the right. Think about which side is convenient to draw the sword, and you will understand the intention. Of course, there is also a vertical tool rest.

Japanese Dao (にほんとぅ, Japanese head), a general term for Japanese traditional Dao by foreigners, is called flat-broken-section compound dark-light-textured Dao. According to the shape and size, it can be divided into broadsword, beating knife, poor threat (threat refers to) and short knife. Among them, the knife mentioned by the Japanese refers to the shape of the beating knife.

Japanese knives in a broad sense also include long scrolls, knives, swords and guns. Since ancient times, Japanese knives have been famous for their beautiful shapes and weapons. Many famous knives are collected as art treasures, which contain the meaning of samurai soul. Different from other countries' Dao, the biggest feature of Japanese Dao is that it shows a sense of design and art on the blade body itself, in addition to appearance decoration. In Japan, knife work is called "knife work", "knife work" or "knife forging"
