Tameshigiri 試し切り Testing A New Japanese Sword

Tameshigiri 試し切り is the martial art of testing the blade of a new Japanese sword. No longer performed on condemned criminals, tameshigiri is now shown on the top layer of a soaked tatami mat placed over bamboo. This simulates human flesh and bone. This demonstration was performed at the Okuizumo Tatara Sword Museum in Shimane Prefecture, south west Japan. www.japancheck...

    The last cut was the hardest, to make the second cut on a piece that had already been detached.

    When you learn a bit about samurai history you realize people were actually cutting people's heads off like that with one swing

    Yeah executions were a thing but not only that, there was a time during the Edo period i think where there was a family that would do sword tests on convicted criminals by well cutting them at different points of their body and i think the highest rating from those tests were if the sword could cut cleanly through seven bodies at once and the results of those tests would be engraved into the nakago and inlaid with gold i think, swords with these ratings are very popular among collectors.

    @@Yoda2422 It was somehow a known practice even for older blades. The last two videos of NihontoArt featured "tameshigiri" swords with those golden inlays. When duly documented and part of the original paperwork, it adds great value the sword because you can know which body parts were the toughest to cut, when it happened and so on.

    Those were powerful yet "classy" cuts. I admire your technique. But can we also acknowledge how smooth the first noto was? Bravo!

    Since this video was taken at a sword museum in Japan, I'm sure it was at the very least a shinken 神経 (new sword). Maybe a historical one but, I doubt they would risk damaging the polish on an heirloom quality sword.

    @@roninsurvivor4640 Yes,I gathered all that from the description and by the width and sori of the blade but what I was asking for was the maker and type of blade. There are shinken that are traditionally made blades and there are shinken that are made in other ways and I wanted more detailed information on exactly what the sword was.

    @@christopherfranklin972 As far as my understanding goes citizens in Japan aren't allowed to own swords that are not traditionally made. Being filmed in Japan its safe to say that the sword was a traditionally made nihonto, likely a blade made in modern times, I believe they are called "shinsakuto". Still learning this stuff myself so I may be wrong.

    @@Full_Otto_Bismarck See my previous;yes,it is clearly a 'shinken' rather than 'shinsakuto' which infers a traditionally made blade whereas a 'shinken' is more likely mono-steel,the shallow sori and wide mihaba suggest that,I don't know if any traditional swordsmiths make blades like this which is why I asked. The old thing about non-traditionally made blades seems to have gone,all swords have to be licensed but there are sellers with blades that are Seki-to and Koa Isshin-to for sale,neither of which are traditionally made.
