nihonto in Israel

[W K Clifford]

I am going to be Israel for a year. any info on the nihonto collecting world there? (collectors, shows, sales, etc.) I assume that it is not completely a vacuum when it comes to samurai swords?

I don't think there is much happening there, but hopefully our member Mike B will pop in and elaborate, as he lives there.

Reviving an old topic here, does anyone know if sending nihonto to Israel is possible/ legal?

Thanks to anyone in advance willing to share their knowledge / experiences.

There is an Ebayer selling nihonto from Israel.  I sent a tanto there a while ago without incident.

Thanks Jon for shedding that light, much appreciated of your time!

I am curious did Yimuyin ever make it to Israel?

I have a friend in Tel Aviv willing to help if anyone is on a similar quest.

NMB member Mike B is in Israel, but haven't heard from him in a while.

There are collectors there, as I have sent 2-3 over the years.  Never had any problems, but it has been at least two years since sending anything there.  As laws and attitudes change I could not say anything definite on the current status.
