In addition to the regular collection of Kitano swords, which evoke the belief in Tenjin as the deity of martial arts, we will also be showcasing exquisite modern swords crafted by contemporary artisans.
We will strive to promote sword culture by clearly showcasing the work of various artisans who preserve and pass on the ancient Japanese tradition of sword-making. This is a rare opportunity for contemporary artisans to bring their best works to the exhibition, so please come along.
