David Flynn Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 Whilst attending the Daitokenichi, I purchased a special order Yoshichika dated Showa 3. I was told by the dealer that the sword can't be sent EMS anylonger and that it would have to be sent Fedex. I was charged a rather large sum for this service and to my suprise, it arrived by EMS and with a postage cost of only 3600yen(I will be in contact with the dealer and try to redeem the excess amount that I was charged). The declaration label also said that it was a Japanese sword. This being the case, I can't help but wondering why it has been stated that Japan will not send swords EMS? When apparently they do!

takakage Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 Hi, It is shodai Minamoto Yoshichika ? If yes, can you add some photos of this nice swordsmith. Thanks a lot. Quote
Brian Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 I believe it was mentioned in the EMS threads that swords can go EMS as long as the flight is direct and doesn't go via another country? I expect that was the case here. Brian Quote
David Flynn Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Posted December 17, 2009 It is the Shodai Minamoto Yoshichika, in the shape of a small Heian Tachi, strong koshizori with a ko kissaki. I will endeavour to take a snap or two on the weekend. Quote
