I've written about swords and words before aquí.
In Japanese the word for a real sword shinken. And the same word is commonly used today in Japanese, means serious.
There are some metaphors of the sword used in the modern Japanese.
One is Tantou chokunyuu. Means to be frank the direct.
Otra sentence are ittouryoudan. It means to cut into the soil of a coup. For both it, used to mean something important to hacer. In English te a similar DICHO: he cut Gordian knot.
Uses some words of swords and guns otras in English. We look with daggers. The fall on swords nuestras. Habla on Ingenio acute. The one double edge sword. Cut the words pointed Comments. The tapered una lengua. The losing nuestra ventaja.
In the above quote from John Dryden, Curtana was the name of the sword of King Edward the Confessor of England. It was a symbol of mercy. I had no tip.
And training of budo must always shinken. Train seriously as if you were using a blade of truth.
