More About Test Cutting:
Test Cutting or Tameshigiri became widespread during the
Edo
period in
Japan
for testing the quality of swords. Although bamboo and rice mats were used,
human bodies were the preferred material for test cutting. The bodies would be
either cadavers or condemned criminals. There were a variety of cuts that could be done, hip to shoulder for example.
The number of bodies cut and the type of cut was recorded on the nakago of the
sword. In modern times the art of Tameshigiri still exists, but human bodies
have been replaced with bamboo and straw mats. Where the original sword tests
were designed to test the quality of the sword, today's tests are designed to
test the quality of the swordsman.
