kissakai Posted January 29, 2022 Report Posted January 29, 2022 From David Thatchers Facebook page I'm very happy to have been awarded the rank of Gusoku-shi by the Miura Anjin Kobo in Japan. This is the highest recognition rank that can be achieved for an assembler or restorer of Japanese armour. To receive this from Miura kobo is incredible. To have my body of work finally recognised in Japan is heartwarming. We are so lucky to have quite a few worlds renowned Nihonto restorers in the UK Trouble is the long waiting list to have anything restored! You have to take the rough with the smooth 11 Quote
