Cut Lines Diagram

[Ashiro]

I remember seeing a diagram sopme time ago displaying the different cut lines on a persons head and labelling them. For example: hidari kesa giri, migi kesa giri, etc.

I know most of them but I wanted to track down this diagram for personal reference.

Does anyone know of a diagram like this? Or even a good set of descriptions for each cut line/direction?

I'd very much appreciate your help. :)

As this is my first post I'll introduce myself so I'm not just 'leeching' you all of your knowledge.

Doug, welcome. I think I have seen this diagram online also. Tried the Google image search function yet? Like this, for example?

We can try a few different keywords.

Cannibal barbecue? Seriously though, I think all the horisontal ones are to cut through the spine at the right places. But nr. 14...

That's obviously for if you want the dark meat.

Thank you so much. The Iaido Association pic is precisely what I was looking for.

The tameshegiri pic is also very interesting so I've saved that one too.

To seperate the meat from the two veg?

Im really sorry but cant think of an online diagram, however there is a good one on Clive Sinclaires book on Japanese weapons, easily found on amazon.
