I immediately went in and was delighted at the chance to admire a won- derful exhibition of the Museum’s magnificent collection of about a hundred Japanese blades, all recently restored in Japan. Once back in Cambridge, I set out to organize a visit to the exhibition for members of our kendo dojo, Tsurugi-Bashi. Although, as one might expect, many of our kendoka have an interest in Japanese swords, none of us is really knowledgeable, let alone an expert or collector. We therefore needed some preparation and guidance in order fully to appreciate the visit. In the spirit of encouraging people to find out more about the subject, I there- fore requested that members wishing to join the guided tour carry out a little research about some aspect of the Japanese sword, write it up as a short essay and present it to the others.

The point of the author's interest is tachi styled shin-gunto sword for military Japanese officers. These swords were set as the main type of IJA officers side-arms in 1934 (Type 94) and renewed in 1938 (Type 98). Contrary to official descriptions and documents, there were serious differences in swords, including several types of blades, different dimensions etc. One of the most interesting facts described in the article is using of traditional samurai blades in regular schin-gunto mounts. The author gives here a description of two schin-gunto Type 98 examples, providing researchers with new information. Keywords : Imperial Japanese Army, IJA, gunto , schin-gunto , Sh ōwa period, military swords. Swords of original design were one of the most popular symbols of Imperial Japanese Army (IJA). The idea of providing every officer and NCO (non-commissioned officer) with a personal side-arms was the reality of military doctrine in Japan since the beginning of Meiji era.
