Nihontou presentation

[katonk66]

Hello everyone, this question may be a strange one, as it involves presentation on racks or katanakake:

 

So, I live in an apartment with limited space for the presentation of my katanas. That being said, if I purchased a multi-rack, it's probably not a good idea to place it next to a window (even with curtains closed), due to ambient air with condensation and an increased risk of rust?

 

Thank you

I would love to display bare blades, but both from concerns about oxidisation / rust and safety / security I eventually decided against it.

 

In the end, I bought some oak mounts that screw onto my wall, and just display the koshirae (and NBTHK certs).

 

The actual blades stay in their shira saya and only come out for cleaning and appreciation. 👍
