Greetings

Thank you for visiting our websit.

Founded in 1959 and recognized as a partnering branch by The Society for Preservation of Japanese
Art Swords in 2012, we now have a history of more than 60 years.

As Japanese swords have drawn more and more attention and popularity these days, the number of
people interested in the art rises.

Every one of them, including our members, has their own story about their swords and how they
became fascinated by the crafts.

Originally, we placed emphasis on bidding and judgment of swords, as we thought they were the
most exciting part of the culture.

Now, however, we put more focus on the other aim of ours, which is to “socialize through swords.”

To achieve this goal, we are engaged in sword viewing gatherings and local events that would help
spread this culture throughout the region.

We will continue with these projects on a local level, reflecting the needs of the general public
toward Japanese swords on our future activities.

We’d be happy to hear your opinions and suggestions on our group and Japanese art swords in general.

Thank you for reading this introduction. It’s our pleasure to share the culture of Japanese art swords with you.
