We are ready to take my Japanese items to the museum tomorrow and the opening details are below

 

Exhibition at Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery

2^nd April – 22^nd May 2022

 

TSUBA

From samurai warrior to status symbol

 

Working with a local Bedworth collector, Nuneaton Museum & Art Gallery is creating its first ever exhibition of Samurai artefacts. The display will focus on Japanese sword guards, which are called tsuba in Japanese.  These are the part of the sword that protects the holder’s hand from the blade. The exhibition will show their decorative development from the warring period to more peaceful times. Designs range from the portrayal of war and myths to depictions of animals and plants.

This exhibition was scheduled for 2 years ago but Covid stopped it all so it will be nice to see the exhibition finally open

I will add some photos when they are all in their display cabinets

I'll also be doing a talk on this exhibition but n date yet

Would love to see photos of it all set up once possible! Many of us cannot attend during its duration for obvious reasons.

I go into the museum next week to do the arranging and all being well I'll take and post some photos at the same time

You and your local museum work so well together. Wish we could say the same for most museums.

Some additional images. I've already told them that the orientation of some tsuba are wrong and need changing
