I have a Japanese friend who is thinking of making an around the world trip. He wants to fly to Russia, take the train across Europe, fly to America and finally fly back to Japan from the West Coast.
He wants to take along his katana and make a little extra cash by teaching his martial art when he can.
I can help him with the laws for the states, but I don't pretend to know the laws of all the European nations. Is there any area where he would get into trouble trying to get a sword into the country? Is there any special rules in various areas he should be carefull of?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me.
