This time I visited Mr. Koichiro Matsukawa, owner of Seikeido in Asagaya, Tokyo. He introduced me to two famous swords and told me a valuable story about his thoughts on swords and his hopes for the future. Seikeido www.seikeido.com/
I love your videos. Always nice to see such great swords and to hear from people that have been in the business for many years talk about the direction of the industry and overcoming their insecurities of foreign people owning Japanese sword. Please share the knowledge so we don’t let great swords slip through the cracks of time.
Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Finding informative videos on the subject is difficult for non Japanese speaking viewers. As much as I wish to learn Japanese, I also passionately study and collect nihonto. Thank you from the world community for the effort you're making to share your passion and history. Kind regards
So beautiful so enjoyable experience to listen the history of this self made man from this episode❕ ...by myself : Sebastian Filip , 51 years old age, rumanian citizen , violist in the orquestra from Acapulco , Mexico , forever in love with the Japanese culture , nihonto , kobudo .thank you very much mister Hisashi Saito for your work and life dedication to the nihonto 🇯🇵❕❗❕
The stories are very earnest and it is amazing to see the blade shape of Sano Yukihide's sword. I believe that shape gives the best control of the sword, hencewhy it is a Historically Important Sword.
I think maybe what can also help the increase of sword enthausias are Koryū which also are spreading in Europe for example.. there are schools like Hōkushin Ittō-Ryū, Mugai Ryu etc. and i think many practitioners overseas who also study Japanese culture and art outside the usual training have an appreciation for Nihonto new and old.
