The technique of the exercise varies with the teachings of the different schools, but in the main it resembles that of Europe and the West. A very elaborate etiquette characterizes each of the Japanese systems, honorifics even being applied to the various articles employed. For example, the letter "a" which precedes the nomenclature signifies honourable, as omen, honorable mask.

Even more minutely detailed is the etiquette presiding over the sword, for in no country is it made an object of such honour as in Japan. To he native mind it is a divine symbol, a lordly weapon, and if not a certificate of noble birth, it is at least a mark of merit or valor. Some of the Japanese possess magnificent collections of these weapons, and no heirlooms are more sedulously cherished. The natives have an abiding faith in many of the moitoes engraved on famous Japanese blades: "In the last days one's sword becomes the wealth of one's posterity"; "The gods wore and weilded two- edced swords": and "There's naught 'twixt WIRE, Heaven and earth that man need fear who carries at his belt this single blade." The Japanese believe implicitly that "One's fate is in the hands of Heaven, but a skilful Aghter' does not meet death,"
