      If he held it on his left, he was going to use it with his right, you don’t unsheath a katana with the hand it’s hanging under.

      What’s more interesting, is what did he do with the tea cup 🤔

        What amazes me is that he cut downwards with the spine of the katana.

        Either that, or it’s an upwards cut and the frame just decided to cleave itself so it didn’t have to deal with the katana.

          Looks like a single sweeping cut with the edge, just from unsheathing, in a high arch to a resting position… and the frame got cut like paper.

          A slightly unorthodox move, but maybe that’s where he got his fame from?
