On the 16th and 17th of February, Touken Matsumoto held sales event open to the public at Hotel Granbois in Noda city. This was the first time for us to host this kind of event in our hometown.
Despite the cold northern winds of Japanese winter, quite a few customers and members of the Token-koza(sword study group) visited the event during the weekend, something for which we are very happy and grateful.
This time, we chose to advertise the event in a community paper called Noda Journal attracting mostly locals but also, through our internet site, some visitors coming from quite far away to look at some very interesting items as well as to catch up with friends while enjoying a common passion.
The next occasion for this type of event in Noda will take place on July 5th and 6th.
I will advertise this not only in the local paper, but extend it to the neighboring cities to attract more sword enthusiasts.
I hope to see you there.
