Video - Samurai Sword Love Letters: A Tradition in Ancient Japan

Did you know that in ancient Japan, samurais used to write love letters using their swords? They would dip the tip of their sword in ink and carefully carve their message onto a sheet of paper. The tradition was known as "tameshigiri," which means "test cutting." Also, the world's oldest company, Kongo Gumi, was a Japanese construction company that operated for over 1,400 years until it was absorbed by another company in 2006. Imagine having a family business that has been running for over a millennium! So, next time you pick up a pen to write a love letter, remember the samurais and their unique way of expressing love.
