Download or read book Study of Japanese Swords written by Yurie Endo Halchak and published by Alpha Book Publisher. This book was released on 2021-07-23 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a series of entry-level lectures on the Japanese sword and its history for those who are interested in studying Japanese art swords. The Japanese sword was basically designed as a weapon, but Japanese swordsmiths imbued qualities of grace and beauty into the blades as well as functional superiority. The intricate patterns of surface and texture formed by their highly developed forging and tempering techniques were made only in Japan. In the past, the Japanese looked at the swords as a spiritual symbol of Samurai, temples, and shrines. Nowadays, the Japanese regard swords as a cultural art object made of steel. Varieties of the appearance of swords are closely related to historical events. Textures, contours, and tempering designs are characteristics of a particular school (Den 伝) of swordsmiths. This is a series of lectures that discuss each period's history then talk about the swordsmiths' schools that were active in a particular province at the time. Because of that, each section starts with the history of the time. It is necessary to discuss history to see the flow of the events that affected the swords' shape and style.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Michael, a college student receives a jewel encrusted magic sword as a birthday gift. In reading the inscription on the blade, he is transported to a land of magic in another dimension, where people and demons ride dragons, gargoyles come to life, and people can be turned to stone. Princess Amara is escaping on her blue dragon; she is being pursued by Lizardmen called Tetrons. She calls to the Gods to send her a warrior to save her kingdom. Michael appears, but he isn’t a warrior. Amara looks to the sky and asks, “In my hour of need you send me a cowardly peasant.” Michael is not suited for this world; he just wants to go home. But, they both are forced to fight the evil sorcerer Nekros and Diva his cohort, who has the ability to change into demons. This tests Michael and Amara’s skills in magic. Through many trials they encounter giant spiders, bats, scorpions, and Tetrons. They meet a woodsman and his daughter who help them along their way. The daughter is taken under Nekros’ spell, and this is more incentive for them to overthrow him and get her kingdom back. When Amara is captured by demons sent by Nekros, Michael must overcome his fears, master swordplay and find his innate ability to use magic. With the help of Amara’s uncle who is a Wizard, Michael scales the heights of Nekros’ castle. He and the woodsman slays a giant Tetron, outwits a huge scorpion, and defeats a fire monster, which frees Amara. Then accidently Amara’s Wizard Uncle transports Michael and Nekros back to Earth and they end up in Los Angeles. Nekros is defeated and Michael is arrested as a maniac for telling his wild tale. Amara appears in the jail and tells Michael that he must use his magic by saying the right words to take them back to Telamarna. When he does, they live happily ever after, or do they?
