Keichodo Posted January 17, 2023 Report Posted January 17, 2023 Greetings samurai art connoisseurs, See below for the upcoming NBTHK shinsa schedule for the next year! Also, please keep in mind when sending swords to Japan, that the sword has to arrive in Japan in the month prior to licensing in order for licensing to be arranged. In other words, if you want to put a sword in the June sword shinsa in order to get a Tokubetsu Hozon result to be eligible for the October Juyo shinsa, you would have to ship your sword in early April to be licensed in May to submit in June.... Yes... some serious lead time.... Best Regards, Robert 2023-24 NBTHK Shinsa Schedule Note: Shinsa submission now requires pre-registration which can be done on-line but the deadline is the 25th of the previous month. 2023 May Fittings submission dates (5/8-5/10) June Swords submission dates (6/5-6/7) August Fittings submission dates (8/1-8/3) September Swords submission dates (9/4-9/6) October Juyo Shinsa submission dates (10/2-10/4) November Fittings submission dates (11/6-11/8) December Swords submission dates (12/4-12/6) 2024 Shinsa Schedule February Fittings submission dates (2/5-2/7) March Swords submission dates (3/4-3/6) 8 2 Quote
