Hello all - my name is Joe, I live in Northern California (SF) and recently began exploring an interest in Nihonto.
My appreciation for these works is centered around their unique aesthetic and relative design complexity, as well as their cultural significance (esp. in the context of the eras in which they were originally crafted, up to and including present).
As my journey with Nihonto is still in its early stages, I am always seeking out additional knowledge. If you find yourself in possession of such knowledge and do not mind me asking you various questions that occur to me, please feel free to shoot me a message! I look forward to learning from this forum.
-Joe
