The intention of this project is to provide to those interested
in Nihonto a clean and correct online source of research information.
It is non-commercial in nature, and intended only as a study aid.

The sources of data this is based on have been built up over the years
and put online in various forms by the efforts of many people. These
people have worked hard to make information available in efforts to help other
people better understand Nihonto and further the goals of knowledge and
preservation. This particular effort is intended to start where they
left off, and gather their efforts into something greater than the sum
of its parts. It would not be possible without the work of those who
have come before.

Furthermore, certain motivated individuals have helped with suggestions
and bug reports and data repairs. And others have always been available
to answer questions and enhance knowledge for any who ask.

the nameless fingertips of those who have edited data over the years
and are editing data now, and very much to Peter McCollum for making
Toshow in which this shows some genetic lineage, and very much to Tanobe
Michihiro sensei who makes himself available to all on a busy schedule,
yet generously donates his time to all who ask in order to further the
preservation and study of Nihonto.
