This may be one of the dumbest questions ever and i may have missed something somewhere. But ive been wondering for ALONG time now. Cant find any info from google on it ('I' cant, not saying it isnt there)
What is the emperor node? I know its on the top of the... head? Anyway what is it? And i relation to Tsuka rapping why is it important? Im asking as i really only hear about it (and google only find stuff) to do with Japanese swords, when you use words like 'emperor node' Is it called that or is that just the term in sword making?

Thanks for that post, i know 'what' they look like and i figured the come from the top of the ray. I have a stingray wallet with them on it and i wondered what is the significance? Especially with Japanese swords? And what exactly are they or are they just like a finger print on us for example?

Lesser samurai had lesser quality samegawa (fewer/smaller emperor nodes) on their swords? shrugs

That makes sense as the older the ray the bigger the node. So young rays would have little ones and the older more sought after ones would have bigger? Sorta like people who trophy fish they don't get happy over a little fish?
This answer's some of my question

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
