Dear all,

I am sad to inform you that the well known Swedish collector (and my sensei) Kjell Lindberg passed away earlier this week. He has not been active on the NMB, but is well know to many serious students of the Japanese sword throughout the world. Kjell has not been able to participate in the Nihonto community for some years due to health reasons. I therefore take the liberty to inform you of his passing.

 

Kjell has been a collector for more than 40 years and freely shared his vast knowledge with anyone interested in the Japanese sword as an art object and was one of the central figures behind the establishment of the NBTHK-European Branch Scandinavian section.

 

He will be missed.

 

Thank you

 

Jesper

Very sad news.

 

Unfortunately I never had the pleasure of meeting Kjell but he was very influental person in Scandinavian nihonto community and I have heard many good stories of him from his friends.

 

My condolences to family and friends.
