Hi. This is Coco Geng from Indiana. I read through the message board for awhile (and I learned a lot) but finally decided to create my very first forum account. I started to show interest in blades when I was little, but my family was not happy with this since it's not girl-things. Few years ago, before the pandemic, I started to learn Iaido and then Kenjutsu. This is my beginning of learning about Japanese swords. I started to read books, but realized many books are not available in the US. Then I began to shop books from Japan... Read... then shop... then read... then shop... until I found the Indiana Token Kai. They invited me to join their meeting and it provided me a warm community and a valuable chance to see many blades. I attended the Chicago show this year and tried to sell some of my books (to make space for new books). Nice to talk to many of you in the Chicago show! You might know me as "that book lady" in the show. LOL I still plan to sell some of books and also offer Japanese book searching/acquisitions service. My goal is to bring more young people to the sword collecting community. I wish to talk to as many people as possible, to collect some suggestions on introducing the younger generation to the nihonto world. Hope to see some of you in the future show!
