  16. Good question so, do we have enough items fot a long shinsa weekend in Canberra, Adelaide, London, Berlin or Paris ? Secondly is NBTHK willing to have that shinsa outside Japan. Asking the NTHK or NPO Mr. Bowen once said, yes he will do so in Europe some day... Who is willing to organize and take care? Who will ship his swords and drive or fly anxious or in good hope...
