   A Grand Collection…

   
   

   22 January 2026      15 March 2026

   The Nagoya Sword Museum "Nagoya Token World" (Naka Ward, Nagoya City, Aichi Prefecture) will hold a special exhibition "A Grand Collection of Various Swords".
    
   When you hear "Japanese sword," many people probably imagine the swords worn by samurai at their waists. However, the world of Japanese swords is incredibly diverse. In addition to name changes based on length, such as "tachi," "uchigatana," "wakizashi," and "tanto," "naginata" (a polearm with a sword blade at the end of a long handle) and "ken" (a double-edged sword) are also included in the family of Japanese swords.
    
   This exhibition allows you to see the history of swords spanning approximately 1,000 years, from the Heian period to the Heisei period, all in one place.
   
   Even if you are not very knowledgeable about swords, you are very welcome.
    
   Please experience how the shapes and uses of swords changed with each era through actual artifacts.
