Re: Bokken, Jo, Sword?
Nice pictures Michael. I especially enjoyed the one on pinterest.
Wether the swords in the pictures support my arguments or not is difficult to say. One could claim swords where often used for ornamental purposes at that time. On the other hand it seems unlikely from the stories we haven been told that O-sensei would pose in photos wielding a sword unless he felt it had some sort of relevance to his Aikido.
Interesting indeed.
Great day to you all
JJ
