On a brisk Spring morning, sensei Mag and student Kizzie engage in a battle of the mind and of the body within the dojo courtyard.
"Remember, Kizzie-san, the true master controls the blade, such that it does not take blood the is not needed to take"
"Yes sensei, but... how do I know how much should be taken?"
"If you are wise, Kizzie-san, you will not need to take blood, for your mind is your most powerful weapon, and it is the one you must wield first."

Well; in any swordsmanship involving a two-hand compensating grip: The right hand always grips the hilt at the front end, pretty much in contact with the crossguard (or tsuba in the katana's case), while the left hand grips the back end. This grants the best amount of control for handling the blade.
I have by no means said that it didn't happen. I just said it is odd because based on Japanese adherence to command and obeidience it is pretty safe to assume that few if any samurai strayed from this tradition. That aside artistic license of course allows to be more lenient with this matter. And as I previously said I do appreciate this piece for the magnificent piece of art that it is.
