Shinsa in San Francisco?

[Toryu2020]

All-

Travel restrictions having recently been lifted in Japan. With this in mind the NTHK is having preliminary discussions about bringing a shinsa to the 2022 NCJSC San Francisco To-ken Taikai, August 5, 6, and 7.

 

Mind you this is just the initial discussion. One important factor would be the level of interest by the U.S. collector community. You are being contacted because you have supported the NTHK in the past.

 

We are asking if you are interested in seeing a shinsa this year and if so about how many items you might submit. Your answers will be kept confidential, we are looking for raw numbers only and any response would not be treated as any kind of commitment.

 

Please respond to this email, (nthkamerica@toryu-mon.com) as soon as possible as the responses may well color the boards' decision. We will of course be happy to entertain any questions you may have.

 

Thanking all in advance for your consideration and of course for your continued support of the NTHK,

Fauci just lifted his head out of a hole last night with a "warning" about masks. Wink-Wink

Just of curiosity Thomas, what is the tentative number required to validate a shinsa?

7+ for me

Marco -

A lot depends on where the event is being held. San Francisco is probably THE most expensive market - in the past somewhere around 200 items meant a good result - but now we have to balance hotel and travel costs that surely have increased...

I will have 2 or 3 I may bring for Shinsa if it will be happening this year. Email sent.

Thanks!

Hoping for a good turn out and looking forward to meeting people from the West Coast!  I'll be there with a few things and a table.
