@beach-mom...yes they are Katanas. He has an ENORMOUS collection of them. He is totally into it and has studied all about the Samurai warriors. Most of the sword displays are in the guest bedroom and going down the stairs to the basement. 

 

 

Wow - he's so lucky to have so many! When I visited Nagoya castle (I think) I learned a lot about the Samurai and their weapons. They are on display everywhere there, along with their armor. I remember being surprised at how small their armor seemed to be. I love history, and as I walked through the display I thought about what it must have been like to wear that armor and carry those weapons - the actual ones. It was after that I decided to read Michener's Shogun. Loved it! Smiley Happy
