Why would I do that?

I collect Japanese anime figures.

>>614671
This.

I collect Japanese school uniforms.

I collect Japanese school children.

I bought a few when I was in high school. All musashi brand though.

I have like four.

Three cost me thirty bucks total, and the other cost me seventy.

Conveniently, the Turkish idiots in the airport had to break the expensive one before it even got up my wall.

I bought a sword because it reminded me of Youmu and Youmu is awesome.

>>614665

I doubt anyone on 4chan can afford Japanese swords.

Cheaply made Chinese swords based on traditional Japanese designs maybe, but not true, Japanese-made shinken.

Also, although they might be made in Japan, iaito =/= sword.

European swords are the best.

>>614676

The proper place for shit replicas.

>>614679
Despite how much this post reeks of the truth. You're a weeaboo.

I'd prefer a bokken.

Yeesh, are they made of tin foil?

If you want a blade you can actually use to cut stuff, that's not too expensive:

If they managed to break a fucking SWORD, it was probably shit to begin with.

desho desho?

>>614684

Of course I'm a weaboo. That's why I'm on 4chan.

I also practice Kendo and Iaido, which means I probably know about 1000% more about Japanese swords than the average weaboo.

>>614687

Nah, they're actually kind of sturdy and they look pretty cool. Shit, I could probably beat someone unconscious with the blade.

Very blunt, though. Didn't even bother to make it look sharp, the "edge" looks exactly the same as the other side of the blade.

Why wallhangers are SHIT.

some of my figurines have swords
does that count?

Guys, why the fuck do you want a sword? You going to run around your room pretending you're a samurai or something?
And if you're hanging it why do you care about the quality as long as it looks right?

Anyone on /jp/ actually practice any JSA?

>>614720
You don't?

>>614720
Owning one is the mark of a REAL GOD-TIER weeaboo. Masturbating to Touhou porn and spending most of your income on anime figurines ranks at the bottom of the weeaboo hierarchy.

>>614720

If you're an Iaidoka, a functional sword would be used for tameshigiri, while a blunted, non-steel practice "sword" (iaito) would be used for kata.

In Kendo, a bokuto is used for kata, although sometimes, higher ranking Kendoka will use iaito or shinken.

You make me lol.

i got one cheap katana. prolly would brake if i hit someone with it

>>614720
Why would someone want figs? or wallscrolls? or anything else even more useless?

>>614760

I really hope you're not implying that those things are any more acceptable in the minds of people who think swords are stupid.

Bokuto/Bokken- A wooden sword
Iaido- A Japanese sword martial art that focuses on drawing the blade, striking against imaginary enemies, and re-sheathing the blade.
Iaidoka- A practitioner of Iaido
Kata- form, a pre-choreographed strike that is performed in various martial arts
Kendo- Japanese fencing with bamboo swords
Kendoka- A practitioner of Kendo
Shinken- A live blade, with a functional cutting edge
Tameshigiri- test cutting of targets with a live blade, usually rolled-up tatami mats

bokken > steel sword

Not nearly as weeabooish and can be justified for strenght training. Just try doing 100 one handed swings with one of the sturdier ones. Got one that weighs few kilos and yea that doesn't sound much but since the weight is mostly towards the tip it's damn hard to swing.

>>614767
You're cool. We get it. Now shut the fuck up.

>>614767

Man, screaming weeaboo just isn't enough for this... what's the next level of attack?

My dad has a sword that he bought in Hong Kong in the 80's (I can't remember how he took it back to the UK without customs taking it off him). Very shiny but the edges are very blunt. In fact, the only dangerous part of it was either the tip or the small knife that locks into the case covering it.

>>614771

Alternatively you could get weights which are a fraction of the price and can be used for strength training properly. You'll just train the same muscles swinging a sword about.

>>614773
Screaming weeaboo; on the first page of /jp/.

>>614771

Hell, you can even carve one out of an oar and kill people with it.

>>614772
>>614773

I accidentally got on this board from mainpage but dudes, you're on /jp/ if you hand't noticed besides that's damn basic terminology, even I knew all expect shinken and my weeaboo level is 0.

>>614778

ITT: FUCKING LIES

>>614773

JSA practitioners pretty much have to be weaboos.

>>614778
You're on 4chan if you hadn't noticed. noone cares.

>>614789

Kinda what I was trying to tell those two.

4chan = weaboo website
/jp/= weaboo central

>>614783
What the fuck is JSA?

ITT weeaboos calling other weeaboos weeaboos. You're just as much of a weeaboo as the OP, stop trying. Besides, I find collecting swords more more healthy (assuming one also does Kendo).

You want to know GOD TIER level weaboo?

Japanese sword arts.

Kendo, Kenjutsu, Iaido, Iaijutsu, etc.

Why are people discussing the sword arts like they don't realise they're being trolled?

>>614801

>>614833

The trolling was used as an opportunity to start a conversation on the sword arts.

>>614824

Does anyone actually care about trolling anymore?

We can only hope he will accidentally decapitate himself with that ridiculously over sized sword.

>>614923

It's probably not even sharp.

>>614977

And even if it was sharp, the nakago is probably so thin that the blade would most likely snap right off at the habaki if he hit anything with it.

>>615006
I have probably the same replica in this video, and it's just ornamental. Kinda sharp, thin blade, not meant for anything beyond telling your friends OMG LOOK AT MY MASAMUNE (THAT'S JAPANESE FOR SEPHIROTH'S SWORD).

I collect kitchen knife sets from Japan...does that count?

>>615055
Why isn't your mother doing that for you?

>>615047

Japanese kitchen knives are fucking awesome.

I wouldn't want to fillet a fish without them.

>>615056

My mother is senile.

And even when she wasn't senile, she sucked as a cook.

>>614696
>I also practice Kendo and Iaido, which means I probably know about 1000% more about Japanese swords than the average weaboo.
While it might be true that you know more than the average weeaboo (which probably isn't much in the first place), using swords, and it is debatable how much Kendo and Iaido have in common with the actual historical use of swords during the feudal age, alone does most definitely not make you an expert on the subject.

I love martial arts. Especially since I know how to use a rifle.

>>615065

Because there's a whole bunch of sword experts out there that were actually ALIVE in the feudal age.

Jesus. I never said I was an expert. I just said I probably know more about Japanese swords than your average weaboo.

>>615074

LOL GUNS ARE BETTER THAN MARTIAL ARTS LOL

>>615074
faggot, I can just dodge your bullets

shoot all you want

>>615080
Oh look, you're dead. I guess you couldn't.

>>615080
the shooter must be blind or your are already dead

my first hivemind!

>>615078
And I simply stated that usage alone (and it is arguable if Kendo and Iaido really counts as usage) doesn't make you an expert.

>>615086
lucky shot. with this next attack, you're finished

>>614732
>>614767

Im looking for a katana sword, it cant be a bokken (thats japanese for a wooden sword) or any girl style. It has to have a shinken (thats japanese for a live blade) and has be be chibi (small) sized. And has to be really kawaii (cute). Also It has to be about 10-20 bux. And you have to post pics of it first (i want to make shure it's kawaii [cute]). And it would be nice if it came with matching sheath (WITH decoration). OH! and it CANNOT have any cartoon pictures, or be made out of plastic. It has to be made of steel, or something like that. Also it would be nice if it was made in japan. and not in china or corea (korea) or whatever. I have found a katana similar to the one im describing in e-bay, but it was not a shinken, and i dont want my sword to touch my other things (it can get dull and i would not like that, plus a shinken looks more kawaii)

>>615091

Why is it necessary to specifically point out that I am NOT any expert, when I specifically DID NOT SAY that I am an expert?

Did you hear something? Ah never mind. Hey, can someone help me scrape this morans brains up? I don't wanna attract flies. Actually, anyone got a hose?

>>615109
lol. Someone post the fat fuck with a blade on both arms.

>>615100
Because shooting airsoft guns in my room doesn't necessarily gives me greater knowledge about firearms than other people.

>>615124

What if you went down to the shooting rage three times a week for 5+ years, and practiced with real guns?

>>615130
I don't think practising Kendo and Iaido fits into "practising with real guns" in this analogy.

>>615111
hmm this guy's better than I thought... I must retreat

you won't get so lucky next time!

>>615142

You do learn proper blade use and maintenance in Iaido, especially if you practice tameshigiri.

At least kendo teaches you to use a shinai as if it were a shinken, with a specified cutting edge.

>>615146
Excuse me, there's something you're having trouble realising...

>>615156
Hey Grim, everytime you type, it sounds like someone's pouring skittles on your keyboard.

>>615165
Shut up, mon.

>>615153
>At least kendo teaches you to use a shinai as if it were a shinken, with a specified cutting edge.
Yes, but the array of techniques is rather limited. It's a sport, like western fencing.

I ordered a WW2 machine stamped sword off ebay years ago for a couple hundred bucks. Nice to think it was on some crazy Jap officer that was shot down during a banzai charge.

THIS guy is the real expert:

>>615179

And it's the closest you'll ever get to fighting with a real sword today.

It's not like you can just go out and wander the Japanese countryside like a ronin samurai anymore, fighting off bandits and defending villages.

"Traditional" sword fighting is extinct.
