Dai Token Ichi #19

[Ichi]

The annual Japan sword dealer's association show 第19回大刀剣市 is just around the corner. It will be held at Tokyo Bijutsu Club Bldg. 6-19-15 Shimbashi, Minato-ku Tokyo, from October 27 thru 29th.

 

I presume this is the biggest sword event in Japan. See what the Japanese dealers are hawking.

since our daimyo is traveling to Edo and presumed will be attending the biggest sword show ( and dazzled by the kinko works......hard to be wabi at that place )...........and further since he'll be sending out books, may be he can be persuaded to send the show's catalog along too ( save $ on shipping ) ?

unforunately I am there the week before and have work commitments to return to I cannot avoid, so I will miss the Dai Token. Bummer. Sorry, my suite will be full as it is anyway.

I will try to get hold of the catalog if they are still available at the door.

You can order the catalog online at Tokugawa Art. They have a secure order site and you can use Paypal too. Very reasonable price too.

Just hit on the catalog link on the left of the home page.

I got my catalog from Tokugawa Art today. It's very good has some great photography and some excellent swords in it.

Well worth the very reasonable asking price.

I looked all around the site and could not find the catalogue. Where exactly is it?

Thanks,

Hi Barry,

 

Couple of weeks ago, there was this catalog section where one could place an order. Guess they pulled it out from their homepage, and now headed to Tokyo on a truck fully loaded with swords for this big weekend event.

For those who couldn't make it to the sword department store, here are some photo clippings from their offical website. Wish they carried more pics on the swords rather than the crowds. I've noticed more foreign buyers than before.
