Despite the cold typhoon I made it to the DTI.

 

I have come to realize that it is more of a social rather than a buying event for me. I have met lots of great people (new faces and old friends) today and chatted with and felt very happy spending the afternoon together.

 

I saw at least 3 real Nobuie and a few nice Yamakichibei and also a stray Kanie at 5,0000,000 yen which is far too cheap me :lol:. Also I saw lovely Ko Mino fittings too. Yashima as always have a lovely spread of stuff, a nice Myochin there caught my eye.

 

Saw, held and fondled lots of nice koshirae, kabuto and my current favourite, the Sasano Ko Tosho tsuba at Seikedo. You can't actually see how the sukashi has been cut in the photos which is bad luck for you ;) :

Hi Guido and many thanks for the pics. It's fun to see you guys having all the fun... NOT! LOL Next year for me as I'm tired of looking at these pics without a wide angle shot of me in them... :rotfl:

Funny that you mention it: we went out tonight, walking through the pouring rain of typhoon # 14, and entered a building where the wet leather soles of Cyrus' fancy Italian shoes didn't meet enough friction on the polished marbel floor.

What can I tell you, I was torn between feeling sorry for him, and laughing my behind off at the sight of him that resembled a turtle on its back, especially with his heavy backpack. :lol:

Great DTI photographs, Guido! For those of us who could not make the trip this year, it is great to see Robert Hughes and Fred Weissberg and the regulars enjoying the show. Great armor photographs!I will definitely make sure to be there next year. Again, thanks for sharing the show with us.

Fred looks to be dozing peacefully behind his display case. Still soaking up a little jet-lag. :D

 

Lay off Cyrus' shoes, they're cool! ;)

 

...and thanks for the photos and the vicarious thrill of DTI. 8) :D

This was my first DTI and I was absolutely blown away by it.

For me, there was not nearly enough time to take it all in but I think with the quantity and quality present, that would have been impossible anyway.

I got to meet a few of the fellas from here but unfortunately not all that were present. Maybe in a year or two when I don't get so distracted by all the swords I'll get a chance to say hello.

Fairly sure I saw Guido's face outside the ANA intercontinental arrival area when I arrived on Friday evening but not again over the weekend so missed that chance.

Fantastic time...

Alas, Jean I have yet to attend an NMB party anywhere. Due in part to my near monastic life-style since my liver turned to concrrete! ;) :D

 

Pete, I suspect that given the exchange rate Fred would much prefer to be seller rather than a buyer. Besides DTI looks like a place for those far more experienced in nihonto than moi. :D
