Keichodo Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Greetings Sword Friends, After a lapse of a few years I will be back at the S.F. sword show. Yes, I have missed all the colorful characters who attend this event and the quaffing of lager outside the lounge. Lots of interesting stories to share with you regarding the state of sword biz in Japan, etc. Anyway, I will be bringing Mr. Nagamasa Ikeda (sword polisher) and Mr. Hironobu Otsuka (tsukamaki-shi and koshirae maker) who will demonstrate their skills. Mr. Ikeda will polish windows for any interested parties to see what "lurks beneath" the rust and grim. Mr. Otsuka will wrap tsuka for any interested persons. Both gentleman are artisans in good standing with NBSK, the foundation supporting artisans. Hope to see you there! Robert Hughes Quote
Toryu2020 Posted July 5, 2012 Report Posted July 5, 2012 Bobby! Let both gentlemen know that we are looking very much forward to having them here. As always if you've got the news we've got the beer! -t Quote
Yoshimichi Posted July 6, 2012 Report Posted July 6, 2012 Robert: Very pleased to hear you will be attending at this year's S.F. Token Kai. You always add to the fun and the learning opportunity for all of us. Look forward to seeing you at the S.F. show, and in Japan at this year's DTI. Bill E. Sheehan Quote
