  1. Greetings NMB readers, Re: catalog tanslations The printing of the translation comes out much later than the actual catalog as the catalog takes priority. The translation is just a courtesy for foreign visitors who have yet to master kanji signatures. Generally, the translations are available at the show. The translation booklets are not intended to go with every catalog, but are available on request. Hisashi Saito and I share the translation workload. Having said this, I will see if I can make the electronic data available to forward by e-mail, in addition to requesting hard copies from our association to distribute to interested parties. Regards, Robert
  2. Hi everyone, Those folks who do not imbibe but can tolerate the whimsical nonsense of those who do imbibe, are most welcome to attend. There will be plenty of non-alcoholic beverages as well. Regards, Robert Hughes
  3. Greetings NMB users, Hope everyone is well in sword collector land! For those who will visit Japan for the DTI, I would like to give a quick uddate regarding the possibility of serious debauchery. Two events are currently in the works. 1. Friday, October 29th A Yakatabune dinner cruise on Tokyo Bay with a splendid meal of sashimi, tempura, and extras. Of course this includes the all-you-can drink option. Meeting time will be 6:40 at the Shinagawa pier with departure at 7:00 p.m. The boat will be a chartered arrangement (with a minimum of twenty guests). The cost is yen 10,500 per participant (the meal is superior quality and the booze never stops flowing). Guido will be dressed as a pirate and will be allowed to navigate the ship after he has consumed his nightly limit of eight litres of beer. If you would like to attend this event, I would ask that you send me an email at by October 25th. Payment should be made to me at my DTI stall prior to 1:00 p.m. on Friday, October 29th. Maps will be available at my stall. This is strictly reserved seating, so once you have given your name to attend, I will anticipate your payment. 2. Saturday night, October 30th. Auction viewing and reception. Mr. Aoki, the proprietor of Taikeido, a sword shop in Tokyo is holding a sword and fittings auction on Wednesday, November 3rd which is a national holiday in Japan. All overseas visitors are invited to attend the viewing of items and a reception on the 30th, as well as the auction on the 3rd. Additional details will be available later. After the reception, which is in Ginza, an opportunity will exist to go out and get further polluted. Regards, Robert Hughes
