Brian Posted June 22, 2019 Author Report Posted June 22, 2019 Very interesting. To quote from the above page.. Quote On May 6th, Noda City Museum held a demonstration event of sword polishing. The polisher and lecturer was Mr. Yoichiro Kawakami, who is one of Touken Matsumoto’s staff members and was supported by his student Mr. Hendricks. Despite that day being on the last day of a long holiday, there were over 50 sword enthusiasts in attendance and we didn’t even have enough chairs to go around. They were able to show the polishing process on a large screen, so all the attendants could see. Mr. Kawakami has plenty of experience giving lectures about the process and did an outstanding job. His student Mr. Hendricks, who is also a presenter and a university lecturer helped make the event a success. So who is this Mr Hendricks? Another Western polishing apprentice? Sounds good, the more the better for us in the future. 1 Quote
