I love swords, so I don't want it to sound as if I am not enjoying seeing them. But...can we really refer to them as "the latest craze"...when they've been around in Japan for well over 1000 years?
according to nhk in depth, cassettes and boom boxes to play them on. (making a nostelgic come back as collectors items) (and japan used to be the considerate people. oh my bleeding ears.) (hopefully they still are and still make and ride new looking trains, because if they all tried to drive cars at the same time, there'd be more cars then roads, and they'd all fall off the edge. and i like the respect for introversion, that you can buy anything imaginable, annonymously out of a vending machine.)
