Katana sharpened "Densei" (伝世), Maru 1065, selective tempering #Terressens

"Densei" sharpened katana (伝世), Maru 1065, selective tempering

Katana blade, Maru 1065 steel, genuine Hamon (刃文 hardening line), forging, polishing and sharpening by hand, supplied with black cloth cover

Since time immemorial, I've been weaving links between successive generations. Such is my raison d'être; such is my name "Densei", meaning "transmission from generation to generation". The blacksmith who gave me life was given the special task of forging a single blade, to symbolize filial continuity. On several occasions, I took part in battles. Each time, the master I served emerged victorious. My exceptional cutting edge, wielded with art and mastery, gave our opponents no chance. There are values that cannot be compromised.
My saya (鞘 scabbard) is dark brown speckled with gold tips. The earth represents the origin, the matrix. The golden sparkles represent the importance of what I transmit, beyond being an exceptional blade: respect, honor and loyalty.

"Vademecum de l'instructeur de l'art du sabre japonais", Philippe Pradel

Philippe PRADEL has been practicing iaidō and kendō since 1981. A former student of Sensei Pierre DELORME, Federal Instructor accredited by the National Kendo Committee (CNK, France), and of Sensei ASAOKA (Mike) Mitsuru, Hanshi, teacher of the highest level accredited by the Japanese Kendo Federation (ZNKR, Zen Nihon Kendo Renmei), today he shares with us this vademecum (reference booklet), which covers all the principles, techniques and katas (codified sequences of actions, organized into three series, Shōden, Chuden, and Okuden) of the traditional Musō Shinden Ryū (夢想神伝流) sword school. This is the first time that a pedagogical reference work covering the entire discipline of Japanese sword art (iaidō) has been published outside Japan, containing detailed step-by-step elements of study and approach, in the tradition of the writings of the historical masters.
