Thank you for allowing me into the Message Board. I started a long time ago when I was 8 my grandmother bought me a Wakizashi made for tourists when she was in Japan. Later I bought several wall hangers in the US but really wanted a real one from Japan. The price scared me so I started with brands like Hanwei but finally a nice dealer named Lance referred me to a dealer in Japan I could afford. I have purchased two swords a Kozuka and some antique armor pieces and very happy with them.I have so much to learn but enjoy the process. My yard is part Japanese garden and part archery range and training area with a hidden obstacle course I use daily.
