Carlo Giuseppe Tacchini Posted February 13, 2011 Report Posted February 13, 2011 Hi all. Hope Brian will forgive this non-Nihonto related topic but it suggests the fragility of the Japanese ancient arts preservation in today's world. I've been advised by Jo Anseew that Muneyuki Myôchin, last master armorer of this legendary family, has passed away on January 17 2011. No heirs left, no students. A loss for whole humankind. And the end of a legend. Quote
