Samurai from my Grandpa

This is Samurai 侍 splits, KATANA　刀. 

This is our heirloom　家宝 of Kobayashi family.

My Grand father always took this Katana at Japan Army WWII  (about 70 years ago more).

Coz Japanese army soldiers were SAMURAI then.

My Grand father never pull out it.

When he passed away he talked to my father "Never go to war"

And my father also talked to me the same words when he passed away.

This sword was made at about 500 years ago (1500-1550??)

The Katana cover is for Japanese army.

And the Katana bag is made my Grand mother.

This Samurai is no water proof for diver. It can not swim. 

And not Titanium, not SS.  Steel only.

This car was our family car 40 years ago! SUBARU 1000.

My father drove SUBARU 1000 Standard about 40 years ago. My dad drove this car with me many times.  By Subaru 1000, 60km/h (37.3mile/h)  was too fast for me to sit on this car seat :-(I was child them. "now no problem until 180km/h :-)"
