Some nice pics were mentioned at kendoworld. Go to:

http://editorial.gettyimages.com/ms_gins/CFW/home.aspx?pg=1

search for "kendo", and you will find several interesting pics on two pages.

I particularly enjoyed the "airborne" men-attack, and the sword-cleaning scene from a british kitchen in 1958.
Anyone know more about the lady on the pic?
