Odoributsu (踊仏): Literally “dancing Buddha”, this term alludes to Buddha or a monk starting to dance and taking off the Kesa from the shoulder. Kesa-kiri, which is a diagonal slash across the chest. This nickname for a cutting test is quite rare and has been found for example on a katana by Etchû no Kami Masatoshi (越中守正俊).
