SYDNEY TOKEN KAI - JAPANESE SWORD STUDY GROUP 

Hi everyone,

Well.. its done and dusted, Sydney NTHK Shinsa and Taikai turned out to be great sword fun for all.

The Shinsa team was a pleasure to work with, approachable, down to earth and professional. I was extremely impressed with the standard. Gordon especially worked like a demon. All the shinsa volunteers were exceptional, we all had fun, learned a great deal and ran a slick operation, thanks guys. The shinsa standard was very high and the pass rate was much better than average. Thanks to the contributors, we loved seeing your swords, thank you for being so generous

The Taikai was also well attended and the room was full for the lectures. The presenters did a great job, even with a few last minute hic ups getting the swords through customs and making it hard. It all turned out in the end, thank you to the presenters for your generous time and effort. To the dealers who flew in from overseas. Your support was greatly appreciated, I'm glad you did a few good deals and I hope you made some long term contacts and friends. Click on the TAIKAI page to see some photos of the displays and lectures

Now for the big news!! We had a huge demand to do it all again, so I am happy to announce that the Sydney Token Kai will conduct another NTHK shinsa and Taikai early 2011. If you missed out this time, it will be even better next time, so start saving for your ticket and shinsa fees!
