G'day fellow Japanese sword collectors,

 

November's study meeting had a great turn out with 14 sword collectors attending from beginners to old timers :- ) The display was well recieved and some lively discussion and banter followed on the research of Yamato and Yamashiro swords. We also saw many beautiful pieces for show and tell with some collectors showing off their new tearsures for everyone to appreciate.

 

 

Our goal is to provide a free and open venue to promote the interest in Nihonto (Japanese swords) and associated arts. Our enthuses is on education for the newer collector and student.  Meetings are not open to the general public and you will need to contact the organizers to attend. Please let us know if you are interested in attending.
