Tsuji-giri

[Episkopos]

I have only a little Japanese, so I am relying on what I am told is the translation.

Tsuji-giri is "trying out a new sword on a passer-by".

It sounds like a great title for a new campaign to me. :)

Cheers,

If you have Netflix, check out these two movies:

RONIN GAI - A movie where there is lots of Tsujigiri (and slashing up dead people to test swords, also illegal and immoral).

DORA-HEITA - To cheer you back up after watching RONIN GAI. An awesome movie set in roughly the same era.

Also, not sure if Tsuji-giri is all "Heian" and all. Psychos might do it, but mostly it was bored, corrupt samurai lords in the Edo period (itching for war when there was none).

[Episkopos]

I'm sure you are right about it tsuji-giri not being Heian period at all. Thanks for the other references. I'll check them out!
