Nickupero Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 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: www.nihontoart.com 4 Quote

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. Quote
Rich S Posted July 7, 2016 Report Posted July 7, 2016 Nick - Beautiful site; very well done. Rich Quote
Ken-Hawaii Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 All your hard work paid off very well, Nick! Great job! Ken Quote
Nickupero Posted July 8, 2016 Author Report Posted July 8, 2016 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! Quote
SwordGuyJoe Posted July 8, 2016 Report Posted July 8, 2016 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 Quote
uwe Posted July 16, 2016 Report Posted July 16, 2016 Great looking side Nick, with nice stuff in stock. Well done! Quote
Nickupero Posted July 23, 2016 Author Report Posted July 23, 2016 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? 1 Quote
drbvac Posted July 23, 2016 Report Posted July 23, 2016 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. Quote
Surfson Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 Really nice pieces Nick, and wonderful photography and presentation. Do you obtain your swords in Japan? They are definitely high quality. Cheers, Bob Quote
jamesicus Posted July 25, 2016 Report Posted July 25, 2016 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! Quote
