From N.m.b To The Jssus Nl

[Peter Bleed]

I sincerely hope that NMB members have seen and considered Barry Hennick’s wonderful presentation in the last JSSUS Newsletter. Barry essentially assembled and modestly edited a wonderful series of brief but pithy assessments about the tsuba aesthetics that developed on NMB last spring. Most of us will have seen this but having them pulled together really made them new and interesting. Barry removed the names so that the discussion is anonymous. That may be too bad since there were some very respectable voices in the thread. Still, taken as a whole, I think this discussion presented a worthy new assessment on how and why iron discs can be assessed aesthetically.

Nice job, Barry! And “Good On You”, NMB!

Be nice to have link for those who may not been here or read it.

Stephan,

The link is right here on the NMB since that is where Barry began his presentation.

it is nmb/topic/22874.

The JSSUS does not have a digital presence, but I certainly hope that people on the NMB will maintain their membership in "The" Sword Society.
