Maeda Clan Exhibition at the TNM including many National Treasure swords

[Lewis B]

Hiro kindly informed us of a major Maeda Exhbition at the Tokyo National Museum.

 

Here are some details of the swords on display. Not mentioned in the other thread is the Tarosaku Masamune. Wish I could attend. Hopefully some skilled nihonto photographers will be in attendance.

I should be able to catch the final days of the exhibition. I think I am getting way too specialized as I prioritized some rural museums over this one and I am most excited about number 94 the naginata and the 93 Ō-Denta. I am lucky this year to get the later rotation as I have already seen all the blades of Tokyo National Museum 1-4 rotation so it will be nice too see others. I do remember seeing Kotegiri Masamune years ago, will be nice to see it again and see if I think differently about it.
