Eichiro chooses a wakizashi length practice sword and enters the demonstration area. He bows to the sensei, to his opponent, and then to the room. That complete, he goes through a few basic kata that focus on using the shorter length of the blade to slash and stab an imaginary opponent. He holds the wakizashi like a long knife, keeping it close to his body when slashing but using the palm of his opposing hand to punctuate the stabs.

D4: LM Weaponry Demonstration 5k4, 1 raise TN20: 5d10o10k4 35

Eichiro seems somewhat surprised by his success, the tricks and feints that Nijiro taught him on the road seem to have paid off in spades. He bows to his opponent and then to the judges and then to the crowd, and then quits the field.
