Lost in translation.. Mr. Hoppen changed "loss" into "use" and gives items a only for study mark. Best Regards
-
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... Questions, questions, questions concerning the mind of the ambitious collector today... Best Regards

Hi James, here comes the wakizashi...

Hi Arnold, try to translate Mr. Hoppens last sentence: ...you have to venture this ( financial ) step; the joy to own such an artsword let you forget the loss of money. Imo the word "loss" isn't the right idiom. I will ask Mr. Hoppen soon as possible, he caught a bad cold and I am fearing the same. Best Regards and thanks for your opinion

Thanks for sharing Peter, would be a great pleasure having more older articles on the board. Best Regards

In some discussions we come to this premise: The number of restrictions for the sword collector and dealer will rise. So the future trends will see less nihonto collectors/dealers and more tosogu guys. Shipping a tsuba one dealer said, is put it in your poket, and check in the plane. No problems... Secondly " it is said, Nihonto from Koto to Shinshinto is a loosing game ". Trend coming soon is the gendaito and later sword, opinions... Best Regards
