Evangelion nihonto in Paris

[JGrinneiser]

The famous Evangelion Nihonto (エヴァンゲリオン日本刀) exhibition has finally come to Paris, and it's all I wanted it to be.

I actually went there just for the enormous Longinus lance (which imo deserves the entry fee all by itself), but the rest of the exhibit is really on par.

 

Good news, taking photos is actually encouraged (just not in the part describing the Gainax animation process, but I can do without), and I was able to take a few pictures. Just wanted to share them with you:

Hope you'll like them.

Thanks for the upload! That purple same wrap is quite something...with those chartreuse highlights! Wow. Wonder if that is acrylic I really like that other tsuka as well, with the three skin types used. Is that blue same I see in there?

I have seen it today, very interesting blades among which a Kagehide in itomaki no tachi and a suriage Magoroku Kanemoto with a two body cutting test with a Tensho Koshirae (saya in black roiro lacquer) there was also an Ichimonji blade.

Out of the blue I stumbled upon the history of the lance of Longinus.
