Toryu2020 Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Shinjirarenai! Unheard of in Japan, I am sure this guy is some lone nut and not part of a trend. At least I hope so... -t Quote
Brian Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 WOW! That is crazy. Japanese speakers...can you fill us in on what he got away with? Looks like one sword....was he going for more or was this a special order robbery? What shop is this? Brave shop owner...pity all he had to beat the heck out of the guy with was a saya and an umbrella :lol: Am sure they will get the guy. Brian Quote
fwic2803 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Report Posted August 9, 2011 His store : Gunma-ken Kiryu-Shi Stolen sword : Taima Tomoyuki , TokubetsuHozonToken , Blade 63.5cm. Quote
Brian Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Takaya san, Does it look like he went there to steal that particular sword, or was it just one he grabbed? It looked to me like he had one sword in mind, although I am not sure what he went back in for the second time...was it the saya, the origami or another item? Brian Quote
Surfson Posted August 9, 2011 Report Posted August 9, 2011 Shocking! I think they said it was a Nambokucho blade as well. Yea, he didn't get the saya. In the US, he almost certainly would have been shot trying to rob a militaria store! Quote
fwic2803 Posted August 10, 2011 Author Report Posted August 10, 2011 The thing which was stolen. Blade, Tsuka, Habaki? The thing which was left. Saya, NBTHK Paper, Registration Card. Quote
