KSATSU

I’ve purchased from samurai museum. Like all the Tokyo stores they aren’t the cheapest due to overheads but they have good staff and good customer service. Please research everything they post on your own before buying. They don’t always get every thing 100% correct factually or translated. In saying that I would buy from them again

We went to Tozando in 2018. We’re some beautiful swords on display. I’m a regular on their website and Aiojapan :). fortunately we have no kids or cats to worry about but the office is locked anyway so it’s a safe place for the Armour. I have been in touch with Ray he is a lovely guy with some great pieces. I’m still waiting on a property to sell so I’m kind of stuck at the moment but when the time comes another sword is on the agenda. https://nihonto.com/yoshihira/ this one has sold but it’s a beauty 🙏

Thanks for the video. That was a great watch. I am in kyoto for 7 nights so a day trip should be occurring to the museum. I originally didn’t plan to get the Armour this year so that has slowed down the JUYO purchase but that’s ok. I am very happy with my purchase. The sword I posted above is signed “Yokoyama Kozuke Daijo Fujiwara Sukesada (横山上野大掾藤原祐定)” and dated around 1660-1715.

Hi Ken, currently my focus is on Bizen / Hizen swords. The sword I have recently acquired is tied to the Osafune school and I am looking for a JUYO sword to purchase over the next 12-18 months from the Ichimonji school.

Hello All, My name is Steve, I’m 34 and from Melbourne. Travelled to Japan multiple times and off again in October with a stop over in South Korea. I have a lot of interests in Japanese culture (new and old) and in 2018 I visited the Samurai Museum in Tokyo which triggered an interest in Nihonto. Recently I purchased my first katana and Yoroi. I hope to learn as much as possible and attend events when possible. Looking forward to taking part in this forum. Pics attached of latest purchases. Hoping to continue to expand my collection
