Japan Visit October 2006

Dai Token Ichi swordshow at Tokyo 2006
I visited on 27th - 28th and 29th of October the Sword Show in Tokyo, a great show with many many swords and fittings.
On the show located at 2 stocks were many swords displayed, even a great number of Gendai, modern made swords.
The show had also a great number of swordsdealers from whole Japan who displayed there swords for sale.
Buying swords was no problem, but after buying you must have the export permit, after some translation all things are ok.
It was for sword- hunters and collectors a nice show to look after good swords to learn about and to buy.
