I've been looking at swords a lot on the internet lately and I think Sesshomaru's Tokijin is of Chinese Design! It sound probable because Sessh is the ruler of the western part of Japan. And just where is China? Right over the the small stretch of ocean!

Really? That's interesting. Though I have seen many other japanese anime/movies where they had similar sword design as Sesshoumaru's. But perhaps it could have originated from China. ^^

It could be a Chinese-inspired Japanese design...They are relatively close neighbors and China did have influence (such as writing/kanji and spreading Buddhism) but the Japanese were pretty proud of their ability to assimilate what they liked of other cultures while fitting it to suit their need and thus creating something "uniquely Japanese" (acc. to my Japanese history teacher). Just an idea, tho, sorry for the ramble ^^;;

The red flower markings on his kimono look familiar to me. Actually I saw the same markings on an Egyptian disigned ball. Strange. But yes. Me agree about the Japanese/Chinese thing. ^_^

Ah well, to each their own ^^ Anime beliefs/ideas can be very personal to some people... but it's always nice to find ppl who listen, ne?
