Okinawa Sword Community

Are any members of the forum based in Okinawa? Or does anyone know if there is an Okinawa branch of the NBTHK?

I dont think he lives there anymore... You'll have to do some digging around.

Pablo's current catalog

Only 3 million ¥!!!!

I think big showed us this but if you haven't seen it it's worth reading every little bit about that presentation sword.

I didn't know about the crescent moon thing.

Sometimes you'll find a deal there but it's like any other auction place, copies, new called antique etc.

Thanks for the reply, Stephen. It seems Pablo has relocated to the UK. Touken Matsumoto also used to do a sword show in Okinawa, but I think the last one was in 2016. On his website it states that there are no sword shops in Okinawa, hence why he organised the shows (a fresh market). There’s a seller on Bookoo with quite a few nihonto from Nakagami, so perhaps I’ll get in contact them. Cheers!
