Last time I was there, the museum had almost all its swords in storage. I think only 2 or three were in small display with other items. Practically shot past it, even though I was looking for it.

 

Looking at the big Boston Museum book, it is quite the collection they have. I wonder how much of it they still have.

Is it J. Earle's responsibility to care for the items, or left to someone else at the museum?

 

I'd be surprised to learn if Ogawa-san was still caring for them, but then some nihonto collectors in the north east imply that he may have taken many of the items with him back to Japan.

This thread is quite old. Please consider starting a new thread rather than reviving this one, unless your post is really relevant and adds to the topic..
