40 Inch Gold Japanese Katana Sword w Dragon Tsuba and Scabbard Review

If you are looking for a great representation of a Japanese katana, or what is commonly referred to as a “samurai” sword then this 40 Inch Gold Japanese Katana Sword w Dragon Tsuba and Scabbard is a very good choice. A katana is a moderately curved sword that has a slender, single-edged blade with a circular or square-shaped hand guard (tsuba) plus a long grip so it can be wielded with both hands when needed.

Typically, katanas possess lengths greater than 60 cm or 23.6 inches long. These swords have a reputation for being extremely sharp and lethal. Since it has been historically associated with the Japanese warrior class called the Samurai, the sword has become known by this name in the West.

Medieval Knights or Gunslingers

Although the Samurai can be traced back in time to the late 1300s, their existence was little known in the West until the age of European exploration began. Since then, the Samurai, who follow the Bushido, a code that typifies the philosophy of the “Way of the Warrior,” have been looked upon in the West like Medieval knights and at the same time like the tales of gunslingers that sold their skills to whoever paid the price in the days of the lawless Old West in America.

]]>

In fact, for some time in the late 50s and 60s, American movie audiences embraced many Oriental cinematic productions reflecting the tales and lives of the Japanese Samurai with a great deal of emphasis placed upon choreographed sword fights. When the katana became the weapon of choice during the warring days in feudal Japan, it was worn with the blade face up so its bearer could quickly withdraw it from the scabbard and strike a target and as quickly return it to its resting place.

Although this movement had been perfected for centuries before the western portions of the United States were visited and the emergence of a gunfighter anti-hero occurred, the Samurai’s sword-drawing movement was reminiscent of a shootout in the Old West.

Weapons as Art

Just like many gunsmiths in the West went to great lengths providing not only an efficient weapon when designing a gun but also works of art, sword makers also produced fabulous works of art, particularly in the design of the katana’s tsuba, or hand guard.

These hand guards started out as a practical component that aided in weapon control as well as protecting the wielder’s hands. It was for preventing the user’s hand from sliding onto the highly sharpened blade when thrusting at an opponent as well as protection against the opponent’s blade striking the hand.

Great Sword Features

This 40 Inch Gold Japanese Katana Sword w Dragon Tsuba and Scabbard includes an overall 27.5 inch blade size with a 10.5 inch handle made from imitation fish skin along with a dragon decorated hand guard (tsuba).

Book Review: A.J. Lake’s `The Coming of Dragons’

A.J. Lake’s book, The Coming of Dragons, is an extremely entertaining and well-written book which many children and teenagers would appreciate as a Christmas gift.

The Coming of Dragons is set in the medieval past and follows the adventures of two young children.  These are Elspeth, the daughter of Spearwa’s captain and Prince Edmund.  Elspeth, who has been on many voyages with her father, has had many adventures in her life.  Edmund, because he is a royal prince and always very well protected, has not had any adventures, though.

Elspeth and Edmund do not know one another and are very different in character.  They meet and become friends by chance.  After his father’s gone, prince Edmund’s mother sends him to his uncle on the Spearwa.  It is on the ship that the children meet and become friends.

While sailing on the ship, a mysterious appears in the sky and the ship is destroyed.  All abroad it are lost and only the children survive.  Relying on one another and their own wit, the children finally make it to shore.  There they meet a mysterious old hermit who tells them some very strange tales.  Elspeth and Edmund do not understand much of what the mystical and mysterious hermit tells them but soon discover that they have been given the responsibility of saving the world.

Throughout their quest to save the world, Elspeth and Edmund come across many strange characters.  Some of them are extremely sinister and quite frightening.  However, they manage to survive and move from one stage of their adventure to another because of their courage, their wit and the magical powers they have been given.  Edmund suddenly discovers that he can enter into the mind of the dragon and of people, and listen to all their thoughts.  Elspeth finds a magical sword attached to her arm and which appears and disappears as needed.

The adventures which the two characters experience in their quest to save the world are exciting and encourage readers to keep turning the pages of the book.  The two main characters play an equally important role in keeping readers riveted.  Despite their age and their inexperience, they manage to overcome the fears and courageously face their responsibility of saving the world.  Elspeth and Edmund are courageous, intelligent and, above all, don’t rush into things blindly but wisely think over their every move.

Besides making a good Christmas gift, The Coming of Dragons has many lessons for its readers.  It teaches courage, the importance of persistence and how, by facing your fears, you can overcome them.  However, the most important lesson it teaches is responsibility.  Edmund and Elspeth are given a responsibility which seems much greater than their abilities and much more than they can handle as young and inexperienced children.  Nevertheless, they do not back down and, no matter how dangerous things get, they carry out their responsibilities.  The importance of fulfilling responsibilities and of confronting fear is the main idea lesson of this book.  Lake teaches her readers this lesson in an extremely interesting and entertaining way which would probably have an influence on them.

Thus your chance begins in a beauteous apple area paintings appear to activity and every arena is a plan of art. The art in this bold is annihilation abbreviate of gorgeous. The adumbration is absolutely amazing as you biking through the commonwealth of Stonebriar and access Iris’ paintings.

An archetype is a addle akin a popup book, area you accept to dispense the altar to reenact the prophecized chance of the archetype and the 3 beacons.

Drawn: Dark Flight Game Review

The epic story of Iris and her attempt to escape from the evil king continues in Drawn: Dark Flight. Guided by a broken spirit, you have to escape the rubble of a destroyed tower and try to get to Iris before the evil king. You will also need to light the 3 beacons surrounding the kingdom of Stonebriar. Fail to do so, and the land will be forever shrouded in darkness and Iris will not be able to take her place as the prophecized queen of the kingdom!

This game continues directly from its hit predecessor Drawn: The Painted Tower, one of Big Fish Studios’ best adventure games. Drawn: Dark Flight features the same stunning artwork, intricate puzzles and strong story concept, and is a fitting sequel to a classic in the adventure and puzzle game genres. It also continues the story of the little girl Iris who has the ability to bring her art to life. She is destined to become the queen of the Kingdom of Stonebriar, and is being pursued by an evil king and his minions.

The story in Dark Flight picks up from where the last game left off, with the destruction of the fabled Painted Tower. Fortunately, Iris managed to escape and is holed up in a library in the nearby town. One of the casualties from the tower’s destruction is the faithful guide Franklin, but his spirit lives on and is able to guide you on your quest. He reveals that there are 3 beacons surrounding the kingdom, and they have to be lit in order to restore order to the kingdom and place Iris on the throne. Unfortunately, the evil king and his minions will be trying to foil that plan and keep the kingdom shrouded in darkness.

The game begins with you trapped under the rubble of the destroyed tower, and you have to escape and find Iris in order to protect her from the dark king. Thus your adventure begins in a stunning world where paintings come to life and every scene is a work of art. The art in this game is nothing short of gorgeous. The imagery is truly breathtaking as you travel through the kingdom of Stonebriar and enter Iris’ paintings. The artwork in each of these settings also draws from a variety of different artistic styles, from grand imagery as seen in roleplaying games like Dragon Age, through to bright and colorful depictions that would fit very well in a Disney movie, and even a funny cardboard-cutout style ala the South Park TV series.

The gameplay in Dark Flight is primarily a scene-by-scene adventure game format, with liberal doses of puzzles and interactive hidden object games thrown in. You will explore the Kingdom of Stonebriar and Iris’ magical paintings in an elegant interface that showcases their beauty and detail. Progress is made in the game by solving the many puzzles that inhabit this world. The game has also succeeded in ensuring that the transition between the adventure screen and the puzzles is seamless and doesn’t interrupt the story and adventure.

The main type of interaction in the game is to manipulate objects in order to obtain required items or to proceed to a new location. An example would be to manipulate a lever mechanism in order to free a scroll from a stone lion’s mouth, or to correctly insert 3 discs into an interactive pedestal in order to shatter a wall blocking your path. Most of the time, these will require you to find the required items (such as the handle for the lever mechanism, or the 3 discs) which will be hidden in various locations nearby.

What interested me the most was the ingenuity behind the puzzles in the game. These puzzles aren’t the typical jigsaws or cogs or memory games, but are really unique and intricate problems that will give your brain a workout. An example is a puzzle resembling a popup book, where you have to manipulate the objects to reenact the prophecized story of the phoenix and the 3 beacons. There is even a little bit of arcade action in some of the puzzles, such as the captain of a cardboard pirate ship asking you to aim and fire cannons at cardboard sharks! Needless to say, these puzzles aren’t just a mental challenge, but are also very entertaining.

Hidden object games usually fall into the trap of looking and feeling static, but Dark Flight manages to avoid that by adding lots of animated effects throughout the game. Almost every click will trigger an effect such as a torch bursting into flame or a dying cardboard shark making a cardboard splash in the cardboard ocean. Shattering a wall also triggers an impressive animation that is almost movie-like in quality. There are also plenty of ambient effects such as bats flying around and water dripping on cobblestone.

Drawn: Dark Flight is indeed a worthy successor to the amazing Drawn: The Painted Tower (which you should play if you haven’t already). Superb production quality, an engaging storyline and intricate puzzles all combine to make this one of the best adventure puzzle games of the year. The basic version of the game is not out yet, but you can get the Collector’s Edition of the PC game which includes extras such as bonus gameplay, unique achievements, and integrated guide and concept art.

Rating: 5.0/5.0
