i was just thinking how the japanese have kicked themselves out of businesses that they themselves started.Everybody wants a japanese katana, but thhe japanese swordsmith has to charge so much for his work that noone can afford it.
so, the chinese are making them at a fraction of the price and every year their quality improves more and more.
japanese armor, too.
if they were smart, theyd set up sword villages like they used to have. produce japanese swords for export and run tourtists through there.
they may have one or two now, but they need another twenty.
oh, by the way, i can get those gigantic wooden hammers at the hardware stor if anybody wants one.
they are heavy so shipping may be alot, but theyre pretty cool.
