Adonay Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Hi All, After reading this forum and lots of books for about 2 years now, I decided to pursue true knowledge and start posting here I'm a 31 year old enthousiast who lives in Amsterdam (Holland) and I am totally fascinated with Nihonto. As I said, i'm reading everything I can get my hands on for the last 2 years and haven't made my first real purchase yet. Although i've owned a lot of pointy and sharp things during my life, most of them are sold now due to their low quality and collection value. This way I can spend more on building my Nihonto library I feel very privileged, having found such a unique and knowledgable community and hope to experience pleasant and informative times here! After this short introduction, now on to the real question! Does anybody know of any musea, exhibitions or other places in the Netherlands where Nihonto are displayed? I know of the Dutch To-ken society and will join them when I have a little more free time on my hands but I would love to see some real swords after reading so much and scanning through hundreds of webpages. Thanks in advance! Quote
Ludolf Richter Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Hi,I would recommend to purchase the following 2-vol.-collection: Japanse Zwaarden in Nederlands Bezit Beschrijvingen door Han Bing Siong Nederlandse To-Ken Vereniging. All swords with Oshigata an det.description by one of the greatest Non-Japanese Nihonto-expert!Ludolf Quote
micha Posted June 8, 2011 Report Posted June 8, 2011 Beste Maarten, In Antwerpen hebben wij een maandelijkse bijeenkomst van de Nihonto club Belgium. Er zijn steeds zwaarden aanwezig om het thema te ondersteunen. In september gaat het over hataraki de volgende maanden gaat het over Hada, Hizen, Yamato etc.... Lidgeld kost 30€/ jaar, hiervoor ontvangt u ook het verslag omtrent Hataraki en Hada (46 pagina's) (zie vb foto). Voor meer info kan u mij bereiken via baudenelle@hotmail.com Groeten, Micha hada hataraki 13.pdf Quote
