Shuko Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 I am planning a trip to southern Japan and was wondering if anyone has a list of antique shops or fairs/markets where they sell Nihonto. Even your experience looking or buying there or where to find the Kyushu shop links would be helpful. thanks Quote

Bugyotsuji Posted March 2 Report Posted March 2 Yes, I saw the post, Rob, but Kyushu is a world of its own, I’ve not been there for fifteen years, and I have never been to any shops or antiques fairs there. Actually it is a good question and I would be interested in the answers! 1 Quote
David Flynn Posted Tuesday at 06:02 AM Report Posted Tuesday at 06:02 AM There's a Sword Shop in Kumamoto. Sorry I don't know the actual address, but it's close to the Castle and the International Business Centre. I actually bought a Gassan Sadakazu there. Quote
Tohagi Posted Tuesday at 05:17 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 05:17 PM Yes, there are 2 shops in kumamoto, first is a little tourist like shop in the old town near the Black crow castle, just after the bridge. A little messy, a lot of misselanuous antiques but some good swords. The other one is far away, at the outside of the city. I took à train and walk 20 mn to go there but they have fantastic swords and armours... Maybe I can put a picture. 1 1 Quote
Tohagi Posted Tuesday at 05:27 PM Report Posted Tuesday at 05:27 PM Sorry I made a mystake. This shop is at Matsumoto, not at Kumamoto... Confused, Eric 1 Quote
