  1. No, nothing has changed. Ms. Watanabe already assigned a new head of the Museum a few years back. A new person, Ms. Shida is the person I am talking to and arranging in detail about the visit. Thank you Yurie
  2. Anybody interested in buying an E-book, can go to my website and read it for free. www.studyingjapaneseswords.com I am in the process of changing the publishing company. It is taking longer than I expected. but once it is done, no more problems, I hope. It has been a nightmare. Thank you very much for interested in reading my book I really appreciate it. Yurie
  3. Hi, Everyone I started to receive sign-up sheets from those who decided to visit the Sano Museum on 5/29/2024. I am thinking the limit of the number of people would be around 15 people. Anyone who sends me the sign-up sheet would be the first priority. People who showed interest in going in the past in this thread, I recommend to send me the sign-up sheet. Thank you Yurie
  4. Hi, This is Yurie. My husband and I would like to join you at the Friday dinner at 7:30. Please add us to the dinner gathering. We will be driving, so we have 3 spaces (may be tight) for anybody who needs a ride to the restaurant. Looking forward Yurie

  12. Hello everyone, After consulting with the Sano Museum's schedule, we decided on the visiting day on May 29th (Wed) 2024. I am talking with them back and forth about the details of that day, like the Museum fee, meeting time, visiting Mishima shrine, etc. The itinerary of the day will be posted soon. Thank you very much for everybody's interest. Thank you, Yurie
  13. Hi Brian, I'm looking forward to meeting you too. I will be in the show from 8/4 ~ 8/6. New England Lobster dinner will be on 2nd, Sushi is on 6th. 2nd is not possible, 6th not so sure yet. But either way, we will be in the same show for 3 days. I am really looking forward to seeing you. If the 2nd and 6th are not possible to attend for me, Let's arrange something between 4th ~ 6th with mutual friends. I have a few people I want you to meet. I am not sure if Yoshihara is coming this year. If he is coming let's arrange something including him. Thank you Yurie
  14. Hi Ken, The talk by a curator will be in Japanese but I will be there to translate. Thank you for reply. Yurie
  15. TO: Brian Thank you very much for fixing my double posts. I don't know what I did. Yurie
  16. Sure, that is no problem. I thought the Japanese who live in Japan are not interested since they can go any time themselves. Yurie
  17. Thank you very much for answering so quickly. Do you think many people would be interested in? Yurie
  18. Hi、 This is Yurie. I just came back from Japan a few days ago. During this stay, I visited the Sano Museum. In my book "Study of Japanese Sword", photos came from mostly Sano Museum possession and my father's. While I was talking with the head of the museum and the director, we came across the topic of if anybody outside of Japan may be interested in visiting the Sano Museum and holding their swords in hand if we can create an organized one-day trip to the museum. I don't have any concrete plan, but a few possibilities Some time in May or June 2024 Several hours of actually holding their swords and the curator talk. Visit their exhibition and the Japanese garden, possibly lunch there. Each person's cost will be decided later. Or, if any of you can suggest to me what amount is worth coming or willing to pay. I will be the contact. The Sano Museum is about one hour from Tokyo by Shinkansen (bullet train), at Mishima station. From there, take a taxi (about $12~13 or so) to the museum. If anybody plans to visit Japan sometime soon, you can plan around this visit. If I can gather up a reasonable enough number of people, I may seriously discuss it with the museum. I know it may be too difficult to say yes or no with this vague plan, but I just want to feel if anybody is slightly interested in it or not at all interested in it. I would like to hear your thought. Thank you Yurie
