Right. This is why I say that a nodachi didn't necessarily have to be long
and unwieldy. We may find five feet long katana a hard thing to picture, but
to people back then it was pretty big... and Naginata were six or seven feet
long in and of themselves, and were still usable by samurai. So a nodachi
that wsas five feet long doesn't seem too impossible to me.

Take into consideration too, that back then, Japanese people were
extremely small- just look at the armor displays in museum, armor worn by
famed Samurai- most of these look to fit people under five feet tall lol.
