Daisho - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The daisho were limited exclusively to the samurai caste. Other bushi and ashigaru might carry one or the other, but the matching set were only (intended to be) worn by a true samurai. Miyamoto Musashi, author of the Book of Five Rings, became one of the more well known founders of the two-sword style. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Daisho   (279 words)

JAPANESE SWORD DAISHO TSUBA Daisho can refer to any set of blades, koshirae, tsuba or other fittings which were made by the same maker (or sometimes by the same school). The use of daisho swords began sometime in the Muromachi period and could have included any pair of swords in similar koshirae. Today many of the daisho tsuba are actually marriages of two separate pieces by the same maker or school which depict the same, complimentary or similar themes and styles. home.earthlink.net /~steinrl/tsuba/tsubadai.htm   (216 words)

RPGnet: Review of Daisho   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02) Again, Daisho is a terrific example of how they work their magic. Daisho may be slightly beefier than other 1PGs, but only just. Daisho is another terrific addition to a line that sets an admirably modest goal and exceeds it handily. www.rpg.net /reviews/archive/9/9979.phtml   (562 words)

Encyclopedia: Katana The weapon was typically paired with the wakizashi, a similarly made but shorter sword both worn by the members of the buke (bushi) warrior class, it could also be worn with the tanto, an even smaller similarly shaped blade. The two weapons together were called the daisho, and represented the social power and personal honor of the samurai (buke retainers to the daimyo). The long blade was used for open combat, while the shorter blade was considered a side arm, and also more suited for stabbing, close combat (such as indoors), and seppuku, a form of ritual suicide. www.nationmaster.com /encyclopedia/Katana   (1700 words)

A Very Special Daisho In the autumn of 2000, the Daisho was reunited! In addition, there is an extremely faint hint of gold dust floating in the purple to carry the balance of colors to the saya end, all without disturbing the quiet nature of the saya resting in a stand.

Daisho of the Great Warrior His hope was that each daisho could help their wielder to uphold his honor and morals - like a friend who consoles a friend, letting him know that the actions he takes to withhold his honor are just, and helping him stick to what he believes is right (never giving in to greed or evil). The rune daisho were of four different (and distinct) honorable alignments - one set each of Principled, Scrupulous, Unprincipled, and Aberrant alignments. Note: Each rune daisho is a set of two paired swords - the katana and wakizashi. bhebultbofb.8m.com /beapons/daisho.html   (496 words)

National Diet Library, Japan "The Japanese Calendar"-Unriddling the Daisho-reki calendar Various kinds of Daisho, including those using auspicious illustrations like the animal of the year and scenes from popular Kabuki plays, were produced and many were traded at "Daisho" New Year gatherings, while others were used for gifts. This custom began at the end of 17th century and was most popular in the latter half of the 18th century, in the Edo period. Later, in the Meiji era, when the solar calendar was officially adopted, Daisho calendars fell into disuse and were no longer produced. www.ndl.go.jp /koyomi/e/unriddling/01_index.html   (627 words)

EN World - Morrus' D&D / d20 News & Reviews Site - Samurai's Ancestral Daisho If you want to move beyond strict pluses, the limit for enchanting a daisho is half the starting gp value by PC level, as given in the DMG table.

If a samurai wants to have that in his daisho, then that's how much he'll have to sacrifice, and it'll count towards half the 200,000 gp limit at 18th level. www.enworld.org /showthread.php?t=45934   (3569 words)

Map details: Daisho The reason I graded Daisho the way I did is because of simple things that should have been caught before it was submitted. There is a lake on the Storm side that has a large air bubble under the serface, and the generators for the teams are in opposing bases. Last night I played the original Daisho, and upon taking out the Inferno generators found that my base (Storm) had gone down. www.tribes2maps.com /map_detail.php?id=1577   (541 words)

[L5r-gm] Togashi's Daisho   (Site not responding.

Togashi's Daisho is a 1000-year-old artifact, on roughly the same power level as the Jade/Obsidian Hands, Ancestral/Celestial Swords of the Clans, etc. Putting it into the hands of a PC, especially a starting PC, is going to severely affect this game no matter what specific abilities you end up giving it. In my own game, a PC would have to distinguish himself very highly during the course of the campaign in order to acquire an item that powerful. www.alderac.com /pipermail/l5r-gm_alderac.com/2003-March/000111.html   (251 words)

[L5r-gm] Togashi's Daisho   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-02) The 2nd edition players guide suggests that a Clan Ancestral sword should cost up to 20 character points!. I would value Togashi's daisho as much as a Ancestral/Celestial Clan Sword, maybe even more since it's both katana and wakazashi I would strongly caution you about giving your players such a powerful and famous artifact to begin with.
