Marius Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 The Japanese Sword Section of the venerable society of Ancient Arms and Armour (which I have the honour to be a member of) has organised the second nihonto/katchu/kodogu exhibition in Poland. After our 2011 exhibition in Krakow was hampered by the flood (despite being closed most of the time, it managed to attract 8,000 visitors), we have now the second one in Torun. Here is some brief information for those going to Poland (no, it is not Holland, we have vodka, they have tulips): http://gomabashi.blogspot.com/2011/05/p ... ition.html Quote

Do those objects belong somehow together/same provinience?/historical context?-or just arranged this nicely way? This must have ben an very nice exhibition i think? ! Greetings! Christian Quote

Christian, you can say that they have the same provenance - they (tsuba and swords) are organised in collections. The number of items was too small to have a meaningful structure (like period, school, master, motif, etc) so whole collections are being shown here. Yes, it is a nice exhibition in a nice setting in a lovely medieval town. For NMB members - another reason to go to Poland :-) Quote

Ford Hallam Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 information for those going to Poland (no, it is not Holland, we have vodka, they have tulips): Reminds me of the old joke; "why do the Irish have potatoes and the Arabs have oil? The Irish got first choice." :D Quote
