Talk:Shirasaya

From the article:

"they were externally featureless save for the needed mekugi-ana[4] to secure the nakago[5], though sometimes sayagaki[6] was also present."

I assume that the average reader, as I, would be completly clueless. Could someone define these very specific terms? Happy cricket 05:19, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

A bit clumsy, in my humble opinion. Happy cricket 01:49, 20 September 2006 (UTC)


 * The problem here is that without some sort of external glossary that I can direct the reader to, this will have to do since working the meanings directly into the article creates a cluttered appearance. The closest thing would be a note telling people to look up the terms on the main Katana article. CABAL 12:47, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
