The 7th Sendai Token Ichi/Sword Fair was held at Yume Messe Miyagi for three days starting on Friday, September 26th. Prior to the event, I visited the special exhibition "The Soul of the Warrior - The Beauty of Ayasugi-hada and Local Swordsmiths" at the Tome Kaikokan Museum in northern Miyagi prefecture. Designed by the renowned Kengo Kuma, the museum's modern design blends seamlessly with nature, stimulating curiosity. This will likely increase opportunities for local sword enthusiasts to display their collections, further fueling their passion for collecting. The main event, the Token Ichi/exhibition and sale, was a great success, with many visitors, primarily from the Miyagi Prefecture branch of the NBTHK. We learned a lot about local swords, and we were deeply impressed by the passion for researching Sendai domain swordsmiths and their pride for local swords. All staff felt a sense of responsibility that we need to exhibit attractive swords to them.
