Also as you know, the samurai used to decorate their swords with kumihimo - my big love. I saw several examples when we visited Japan. But then you go on to refer us to your "bejeweled biographies". I have visited Washington DC several times and one of my stops is always the Jewel Room at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. What a treat to see the jewels that you talk about in the biographies in the flesh.
