    I know about 1-2 years back there was a string of thefts, especially swords entering the NY area at USPS. Curious to hear what the latest is (and how one can assist add their voice to help prevent), has the situation improved or is this still an issue? I've spoken to a few other dealers/collectors just in passing and this topic has come up. (Apologies if this is already being discussed somewhere and I am overlooking it it but havent found anything posted in the last year)

    Looking for some help translating the sayagaki for a Wakizashi I recently acquired. The sayagaki has quite a lot on it, so posting a 3 pictures below, its from top to bottom:. Some additional context - the blade itself is a second gen Awatguchi Tadatsuna, and have a picture of the blade as well for reference, hopefully this additional info helps! Thank you so much in advance, know theres a lot of writing on this one!

    Hi Everyone! Been lurking on the forums for a while and figured I would finally sign up and participate! Name is Kevin, am from and also still live in NYC. During a vacation to Japan I saw nihonto for the first time at a museum and it was love at first sight. Since then I have been slowly starting to collect pieces and actively reading as many books as I can! Nice to meet all of you and looking forward to learning/contributing to the community!
