Event created by SwordGuyJoe
Our next meeting will be in conjunction with The Arts and Arms of the Samurai show. As with last year, Markus Sesko and Chris Bowen have graciously offered their time and expertise to help make this a memorable event. Information on the show can be found HERE
JSC-MW Meeting Details:
The focus of our meeting will be the history of the tanto and a focus on it's role from the Meiji - Showa era. We will also be providing a display of Gendai tanto that will be one of, if not the largest display of its kind in the West.
Entry Cost:
As this is a fund raising event for the JSC-MW, I will ask for a modest $20 donation to attend the lectures and see the display. If you're unable to attend the lectures and would like to view the display only, I would request a $10 donation.
