Repair/Re-Theme My Instructor’s Katana

My batto-jutsu instructor asked if I would repair & rework the first iaito he ever owned. He was nervous giving it over to me, and I was nervous working on it. I checked in with him at every major step so it wouldn’t go off the rails.

The tsuka & fittings were pretty worn. The blade was in good shape but had minor pitting. The saya was ok except for a crack at the koiguchi:

Quotes by Steven R. Boyett (?)

“You ask me what it feels like to have wings. I can only tell you the feeling with words. And words have neither feelings nor wings. Words are leaky vessels into which a cargo of meaning and emotion are placed, and when they leave you and reach the farther shore of another mind a considerable portion of that cargo has been lost at sea. Fallen overboard, gone to rot, consumed by vermin, decayed to a state unlike its original form.”
― Steven R. Boyett, Mortality Bridge

“And she was not beautiful asleep. Her expression slack and not angelic. The very ordinariness of it so beautiful he felt a yearning to be something more than he was or could be. And as good a player as he was, he knew as he turned on the reel to reel and hugged the Fender once again that nothing he composed would ever be as beautiful as her ordinary sleep.

Watching her he played the music of her sleeping. And by surrendering made something beautiful.”
― Steven R. Boyett, Mortality Bridge
