Paz Posted September 29, 2022 Report Posted September 29, 2022 https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/02/26/Japanese-armour-gifted-royalty-survives-400-years-thanks-britains/ Interesting article on royal collection. Saw the show before the jubilee this year, and saw a great piece from the Rai school.. Apologies if this article is behind a pay wall. But the basic point is that the UK has a good climate for preservation. I'm gathering this also applies to swords. I usually keep my sword in shirasaya, however for the winter I plan to have it in koshiare. If UK climate is good enough. I know some people say there's no need to oil. But I'd never go that far.
