Hi Yurie,
The list of swords looks awesome. I am very excited, especially that I get to study more Masamune. He is my favorite smith. I am curious though as which Masamune that will be displayed? I understand that the Sano museum has few of them. Would it be the Jubun Masamune katana or the Meibutsu Komatsu Masamune?
Best Regards,

Hi Yurie,
I am looking forward to the itinerary, and what is even more important, is the list of items we will be seeing. It would be very helpful if we can do own research and study before seeing the actual items in hand.

I am a big fan of Norishige’s work. But, I think this one is not that good (or may be just bad photos). Thats why it is reflected in the price. Normally his really good pieces get snatch up faster than you can blink. This one is on this site who know for how long, but definitely before November, which clearly indicates that its pricing is not attractive.
Hi,
Can anyone recomend how to maintain efficently the horimono on your katana? I feel that wiping the oiled cloth along the blade is not sufficent to coat the horimono. I even use cutton bud dipped in oil on the horimono, but still feel it is not working well on the really small horimono. Thank you very much in advance!

I saw this blade at Aoi Art.

I thought it is really nice, but I an just a beginner. I am wandering what of more experienced collectors think of it?

I had such a Kotetsu overload today. I just visit Tokyo National Museum and they have a hugh Kotetsu, probably around 90 cm blade, on display. It was really awesome...
