Here is me grinning like an idiot with a Geniune Japanese Katana. It belongs to My friend Ryuos family. They discovered it when they were replacing a thatched roof on the family home, which means it is probably at least 150 years old. In the edo period the class of samurai was abolished and with it the right to bear Arms, all the weapons were meant to be handed up.... but some people stuck them in the thatch roof instead. ... OOh i think I will be hanging on to that.....
It could possibly be older, but its hard to know. and here is a photo of myself Ryuo Takashi and Takashis wife. We went out for a pint last month on my 30th birthday. Jaysus Im old.
