Exciting News!

 

We’re thrilled to announce that Markus Sesko—one of the world’s leading Nihonto scholars and authors—will be offering mei assessments at the Orlando Japanese Sword Show on Saturday, June 21st!

 

Got a sword or tsuba with a signature you're unsure about? Wondering if it’s worth submitting for shinsa? Don’t risk your hard-earned money—Markus will be on hand to help separate the genuine from the gimei.

 

📅 Show Dates: Friday, June 20  through Sunday, June 22
📍 Just minutes from Orlando International Airport, with easy access to Florida’s top theme parks.

 

This year’s show features:

  • 40+ vendors with swords, fittings, and antiques for sale

  • Demonstrations and workshops, including an immersive session on Japanese calligraphy, oshigata-making, and tsuka-maki

  • Bonsai and ikebana displays

  • Tsuba show & tell

  • And now, mei checks by Markus!

  • Markus will also give a special talk during our Yamashiro sword exhibition and will be happy to sign exhibition catalogs and copies of his books.

 

So, whether you're a seasoned collector or just starting your Nihonto journey, there’s something for everyone. 

 

For more information about attending,  booking a room, or reserving a table, please contact organizer Mark Ceskavich at:

NO FOMO! Don’t miss this incredible weekend. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando!
