yeach, only what I love in this photo is a sword, he's beautiful.... but without anything else... kimono for example... sorry, but...it's a little profanation, I'think.

heh... and what is the relation betwee 'shool girl' and 'samurai'... ideology? no, I dont't think so... So what?

I don't have any objections to photo, but I've some to his symbolism.

despite all the school girl outfit and the sword etc... isn't it a beautifully "feminine" movement to be holding the skirt out like that...?

does she know how to use it? and it that an iaido sword becuase it seems that it does have the correct pins in it.

mjranum In reply to Slasher-Akagi [2007-02-08 23:08:02 +0000 UTC]

No, it's not an iaito; it's a real, sharp, folded and forged katana suitable for tameshigiri.

I love the contrast within the pic; cute schoolgirl outfit, deadly sword, fetish boots and her seeminly relaxed attitude.

I absolutely love her pose. The shape of her boots and the position of her feet are what make this so powerful. There's just something very graceful about the combination.

I have one, but mine has the bo hi (groove) in the blade. They work well sa props for sure but also they cut rather well. Nice to see not all photographers grab any old $20 katana for use in thier photos. People that are into sords at any real level can spot a fake a mile away. Very nice shot of this beautiful woman.
