Daito/shoto
Does anyone have any idea whether there's any connection between the "Daito" in Daito-ryu and Daito-katana, and the "Shoto" in Shotokan (karate, I think) and Shoto-wakizashi (don't know if the spelling is correct, I'm referring to the short sword samurai carried). What do Shoto and Daito mean in Japanese?
