Katana's Edge [KANJI]

u'Banzai!!!<br><br>The katana as we know it today with its deep, graceful curve has its origin in shinogi-zukuri (single-edged blade with ridgeline) tachi which were developed sometime around the middle of the Heian period to service the need of the growing military class. Its shape reflects the changing form of warfare in Japan. Cavalry were now the predominant fighting unit and the older straight chokut\u014d were particularly unsuitable for fighting from horseback.<br><br>Outlaw Corp - Invitation Only'
