Poem Title: Katana      Date Written: 22.07.12
Author: Nigel G Wilcox
The Katana or commonly referred to as the ‘samurai sword’ is a traditional Japanese sword worn by the Samurai class. The production of swords in Japan is divided into specific time periods: Jokoto (Ancient swords, until around 900 A.D.), Koto (old swords from around 900-1596), Shinto (new swords 1596-1780), Shinshinto (new new swords 1781-1876), Gendaito (modern swords 1876-1945),[6] and Shinsakuto (newly made swords 1953-present).

This poem is a study based on the sword smith, the Samurai, process of sword making and the Japanese people.
