Yoshikawa Sensei will be giving his lecture on the 19th of this month. The title is Looking Behind the Stories of the Famed Seikadô Swords. It will be given twice at 10:30 and 1:30. Kawakami Yoichiro sans' lecture is on March 4th and the title is Regarding Japanese Swords and the Art of the Craftsman. Looks like a day long demonstration from 10 to 4:30 of saya making, sword making and polishing. This information is from the Seikadô website. -
Help With Translation Katana Mei.
Toryu2020 replied to Geoffry Persoon's topic in Translation Assistance
Stephen it does not compare well with the many Tsunatoshi oshigata I have here. If I had to say it looks like the work of Kajihei. So maybe a good sword but I would approach the mei with great caution. -t -

Ugly Showato In Japan, With Uglier Horimono

I dunno has kind of an Ainu feel to me. Cool for its uniqueness... -t -
Ken I think it has to do with lateral stability. In the longer version I belive it becomes a problem. That is why I think even the katana we do see are on the shorter side... -t

So jealous that I cannot be there - did anyone mention; The NTHK will host a Tokubetsu kansho-kai on the 20th from 1 until 4, which is also the last day of the DTI. The site is the TKP Shin-Bashi Shiodome Business Center, 4-24-8 Shin-Bashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo. It is a short walk from Shin-Bashi station.

I'm thinking shobu-zukuri since the shinogi line goes right to the tip a very neat find, you should not be worried about investing in it. I also support the shin-shinto idea... -t

For November we will look at wazamono, tameshi-giri and tameshi-mei. Swords of cutting ability, testing of swords and cutting test attributions. Famous blades make their reputations on their cutting ability, let us see how sharp you all are. Look over the attached list and see do you have a wazamono in your closet? Bring in your sword, lets all learn what a cutter is and dont forget we have a nice kantei-to lined up for this month as well.
