...Drawing from the shoulder is illogical and to be honest, quite awkward.
Have you ever imagined yourself trying to draw a sword like that? I have, and I for one know it's a; fucking uncomfortable and b; quite stupid, because you have to pull it so far up to get it out of the sheath, which is just impractical. Also, awkward if you have average-length arms.
Basically; Stop defending it with shitty reasoning. "It looks cool" is not a good reason. I happen to think a hip-sheath looks much better. Only ninja wear their swords on their backs.
