Kevin Adams Posted October 7, 2010 Report Posted October 7, 2010 Hi everyone, I just wanted to take a second to announce the October 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. JCCC Token Kai - "Appreciating Koshirae/Kinko" The purpose of our next meeting is to continue to build upon our knowledge of various peripheral topics, within the field of Japanese swords. Chris Leung will pick up where he left off at the last meeting, and lead the group through a presentation dealing with the appreciation of koshirae (full mountings of Japanese swords), leading to a discussion of handling and evaluating kinko (soft metal) fittings. Chris will have several examples from his own collection on hand for inspection, and encourages members to bring clean examples of koshirae and kinko from their own collections for inclusion in the discussion. We will also have a "sell and trade" table set up for our members. Date: Saturday October 30th, 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!

Henry Wilson Posted October 8, 2010 Report Posted October 8, 2010 The koshirae appreciation sounds nice. I would be interested if any minutes / report / handouts are produced. Quote
