Nice! Congratulations!
I encourage you to turn them over. They are pointy side down, which is bad for the blade and the scabbard.
You might want to turn them left-to-right, too. Traditionally, Japanese swords are stored with the handle on the left. Unless you’re at war, in which case, ganbatte!

In an old ad for board game Scattergories in Spain a player was shown flouncing out while anothet said “OK, we’ll accept ‘octopus’ as a pet”.
“Aceptamos pulpo” has now entered the language in the meaning of “that’s a bit of a stretch but let’s go with it just for the sake of argument”.

This isn’t hysteria or alarmism, and it’s certainly not an incitement to violence. It’s clarity in the face of real and escalating danger.

In the face of threats to basic medical facts, women voting, kids using the bathroom (or just being at school) safely, and other horrible things going on, this is relatively minor. But the relentless pace of loss just numbs my soul sometimes.

Thanks for posting. This wasn’t on my radar and I’ve been missing the creative-artistic-tech intersection from Eyeo.
