    Sounds like a good price. Bought a wakizashi in military furniture for $80 at a flea market in Florida a few years back that turned out to have an 18th century blade. Wife didn't want it in the house, so it was sold. The Kanji can be read a number of ways so without knowing the possible names it is often hard to tell, so I am told by a native speaker. Met a wealthy old fellow who had a large sword collection in Japanicon. The "negativity" coming off some of his blades made him construct a separate building for them some distance from his house, at least that was how he described it. Too much of this leaves something behind perhaps.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.
