Kevin Adams Posted May 13, 2010 Report Posted May 13, 2010 Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a second to announce the June meeting of the JCCC (Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre) Token Kai in Toronto, Ontario (formerly known as the Toronto Token Kai). NMB members in the area are cordially invited to attend. As this is the beginning of our membership year, the focus of this meeting will be on our new members, and recapping the basic skills that allow us to appreciate Japanese swords. We will have some short presentations on handling and looking at swords, as well as a guided discussion about the basic features of Japanese swords (led by forumite Barry Hennick). We also have a few "show-and-tell" sessions lined up, followed by a presentation by Chris Leung about sword polishing, with examples from his own collection showing swords in an unpolished state, hadori polish and sashikomi polish. It is hoped that novice members will learn a lot through these sessions without feeling overwhelmed, and be encouraged to begin building on what they learned. We will also have a "sell and trade" table set up for our members. Date: Saturday June 12th, 2010 Time: 1-5 PM (second floor Multipurpose Room) Contact: Kevin Adams (Secretary) - for more details, please PM me on this Board, or email at thekevinz(at)gmail.com Thanks everyone!
