DaveT Posted February 4, 2018 Report Posted February 4, 2018 Well, this 5th May we are gearing up for the second instalment of the Gathering.We have attendees from Europe, north and south America, and ever Australia descending upon the Samurai Art museum in Berlin. We hope to see others book into this amazing symposium that covers samurai arms & armour. We have some excellent speakers all of which are members of this forum. Anthony De Vos will be talking about the Bamen School as the museum has some superb examples. Ian Bottomley will talk about Kaga armours in detail and dispell some myths. Jan Pettersson will talk about Teppo with some fresh material and Ian Chapman will talk about fine quality Tosugu.Katchu lovers, don't miss this... 6 Quote

Stefan Posted March 13, 2018 Report Posted March 13, 2018 Just back from the museum. After several hours of watching only the finest quality armour and swords + kodogu I can say : Wow, unbelivable. In now over 30 years of studies in this field I never saw such a collection before. The owner Mr Jansen is also a real great gentlemen of old style; kind ,modest and generous. I was allowed to handle so many wonderfull blades in hand in a private session wich lastet several hours. I can only say if someone wants to study realy high class items, this ist the place to go to.
