Daitō (long Sword)
A is one of several types of traditionally made swords from Japan. Bronze swords were made as early as the Yayoi period (1,000 BC – 300 AD), though most people generally refer to the curved blades made from the Heian period (794–1185) to the present day when speaking of "Japanese swords". There are many types of Japanese swords that differ by size, shape, field of application, and method of manufacture. Some of the more commonly known types of Japanese swords are the ''uchigatana'', ''tachi'', ''ōdachi'', ''wakizashi'', and ''tantō''. Etymology The word ''katana'' was used in ancient Japan and is still used today, whereas the old usage of the word ''nihontō'' is found in the poem the Song of ''Nihontō'', by the Song dynasty poet Ouyang Xiu.

Taito (kanji)
Taito, daito, or otodo (𱁬/) is a ''kokuji'' (kanji character invented in Japan) written with 84 strokes, and thus the most graphically complex CJK character—collectively referring to Chinese characters and derivatives used in the written Chinese, Japanese, and Korean languages. This rare and complex character graphically places the 36-stroke ''tai'' 䨺 (with tripled 雲 "cloud"), meaning "cloudy", above the 48-stroke ''tō'' 龘 (tripled 龍 "dragon"), meaning "appearance of a dragon in flight". Composition The Chinese character components for ''taito'' are both compound ideographs created by reduplicating a common character, namely the 12-stroke Japanese ''kumo'' or Chinese ''yún'' 雲 "cloud" (with the " rain radical" 雨 and ''un'' or ''yún'' 云 phonetic), and the 16-stroke " dragon radical" Japanese ''ryū'' or Chinese ''lóng'' 龍. The 雲 "cloud" character is tripled into 36-stroke ''tai'' or ''duì'' 䨺 "cloudy" and quadrupled into 48-stroke ''dō ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
