New Site Launch/ Facelift.... Please Take A Look

[Nickupero]

Hi Guys, big day today as I've been working very hard on my new site, I don't want to divulge how long because it might make me sound a bit slow with all this tech stuff but its been a long and difficult process. Just launched the new face of NihontoArt a couple of hours ago, it offers some more educational tools that I hope collectors can make good use, I've also added better visuals to make the process of viewing items more pleasant. You can scroll down the pages as there is more content below on every page. I welcome opinions and feedback, good or bad, all appreciated! More items will be added shortly

 

There will be a further surprise that will hopefully revolutionize and help modernize the sword viewing experience, I'll keep that for the near future, secret for now

 

Please enjoy:

I know right?!? I met someone who collects Enshin in Orlando and forwarded the link. If that was one of the Shigetsugu group of smiths, I'd have snapped it up IMMEDIATELY.

A big thank you Joe, Brian, Stephen, Rich, and Ken!!!!! All of your opinions greatly matter especially since every one of you is so active in the sword world... Next step is filling the site with all the treasures I have  

Yes I definitely agree with you both Joe and Brian, that Enshin is an intriguing piece. Just the way it is assembled is worth some close study. Blade aside the saya alone is extremely heavy with what looks mostly like silver, it matches the blades heavy weight, even though the nakago appears hollowed out it is far heavier than your average shin-shinto nakago.

I much appreciate you forwarding the item Joe, if it leads to a sale I'll send the message board a donation equally.

 

Thanks again Gents!

No worries Nick! I'd hate to have something out there in my area of collecting and someone not send it to me to at least take a look. I hope it works out for both of you. If so, maybe remember this when we eventually are able to come together on something from the Ikkansai Shigetsugu mon

Great looking side Nick, with nice stuff in stock. Well done!

[Nickupero]

Thanks Uwe, It does have a more template feel to it but I think its easier for viewers to navigate.... Ultimately it is the stock that matters most right?

Getting around the site is important but as you say it is what is on it that is the real treasure and as always - must congratulate you on both. Your

ability to pick up some very interesting pieces when everyone says all that comes out of Japan is stuff they can't sell is amazing. Your keeping to

offering only papered blades also goes a long way to making the newbies more comfortable and your pictures leave nothing to wonder about. What you see

is what you get - well done my friend.

Really nice pieces Nick, and wonderful photography and presentation.   Do you obtain your swords in Japan?  They are definitely high quality.  Cheers, Bob

I think your site is very nice Nick. Easy on the eye, being adorned with the usual magnificent  swords you offer. Easy to navigate also. Congratulations!
