Displaying your weapons

[Chook]

How many of you display your shinai or bokken in your home? Failing that (or exceeding, as it may be), who displays actual blades?

I've only been doing kendo for 1.5 years, and although I rarely use them, I display the three bokken I own in my room.

i think you've got you bokkens upside down. bokkens like swords shown with blade up

[Chook]

Damn. Is this true?

[Chook]

Actually yeah, thanks for pointing that out. Looks much better.

I can see your Aus Kendo Renmei membership book presumably fresh with "3rd kyu" stamped on it.

Btw, nice bokkens. Mine's shitty as.

It doesn't matter, there is some post on this. You can do both.

Hey Min? Guess what? My 21st is comin up :P

Kiddin. Where did you get these? They're beautiful.

Bought the generic iaito from MA World in Sydney, back when I first started kendo while dabbling in iaido at the same time. A year later I won an academic prize at Uni and sank the money into the (much nicer) Nosyu blade. That one was ordered off their website.

Now if I could just drag my butt off the couch and back into iai...

of course you can do both. but one way is correct and other is not. thats the only difference
