Tameshigiri involves cutting.
Iaido involves drawing a sword as an art form and sometimes cutting.

Thanks - I was talking about Tameshigiri.

In the comic “Lone Wolf and Cub” a master of Tameshigiri takes on Ito Ogami.

Do you know if they still practice it? I bet a master of Tameshigiri with a samurai sword could really put on one heck of a demonstration!
