Hybring after getting in a little sword practice.
Artist note: The sword he is holding is not a katana. It is a tachi which is older. A tachi is generally longer and more curved then a katana. Also the way one carries a tachi is different then how you carry a katana. Tachi can be strapped to ones back or at the side. The blade is always pointed at the ground when the tachi is sheathed. Katana are generally worn at the hip only and the blade is pointed up when the katana is sheathed.
