    Original Post. The sentence in my book reads:

    ひようびは あかいひです。

    This means Kayobi wa Akai hi desu.火曜日は赤い日です。 (かようびはあかいひです)。
    Tuesday is a public holiday.
    But on its own doesn't make any logical sense . However when looking at the calender and saying "Kayoubi wa Akai hi desu" Then it is understandable.

    Hiyoubi is read as Kayoubi Tuesday. Akai hi is because on Japanese calenders public holidays are in red.

    These are the replies I recieved off of the Token Kenkyu kai list, bear in mind these are nihonto collectors:

    Looks like a Chinese repro

    Fake is what I make of it. Rubbish to every degree. Even looks to
    have had the blade carved to take the habaki! Certainly appears from
    the scans to be a Chinese counterfeit, although scanners do have a
    tendency to bring out things you can't actually see with your eyes.

    Absolutely no doubt. I once saw 25 of these horrors in a man's collection.
    He had phoned me as a "Japanese sword collector" and wanted to know what he
    had!!! I offered words of encouragement but never heard from him again.
    Too hard, I guess...

    There you go.

    Jim, I think you posted in the wrong thread.
