Please do not confuse this symposium with Dave Thatchers 'Gathering of Samurai'

May I just clarify something.

I am a member of the Japanese Armour Society, and a member of The Samurai Armour Forum.

 

The Samurai Armour Forum hold a symposium called The Gathering, it is not my symposium.

 

I'm Looking forward very much to attending both of these.

Hi Jo

Who are the speakers and what subjects are being covered , I assume the talks are quite short due to it only being a morning?

Will Bas be covering noh masks again as covered in legacy 2 ?

Hi,

 

At this point, we're still finalizing speakers and topics. However, we expect to have 3-5 presentations, including the Noh performance. We actually have the meeting room available until late afternoon and the visit to the "Masked Warriors" exhibition will likely take place afterward at around 5PM +/-.

A bit additional advertisement, for the fair on Sunday, 18.02.2018!

 

[Shogun8]

I'm pleased to say that we already have several of the top dealers in the world confirmed for this Armor Fair. It will be the first of its kind in terms of concentrated quality in the world.

[DaveT]

When you say top dealers in the world its rather a bould statement. That sometimes can be translated as the most expensive.

Could you please provide the names of whom is attending so that we, the community may be a judge of the quality.

[Shogun8]

When you say top dealers in the world its rather a bould statement.

 

"Bould" perhaps, but true.

[DaveT]

Is Chigura, Morioka, Winter, Finer going to be there? You know, some of the worlds top dealers?

Please put one aside for me, if you're able find any, Luc

A good few Belgian bars in Amsterdam and lots of decent places that are non-Heineken, which I agree is a shocking beer!
