This was the 4th time that I attended this event in Naha, Okinawa.
In addition to the sales event, I also held a small lecture about the Japanese sword to a few select enthusiasts, and it is my hope that they enjoyed the lecture and fund the information of use to themselves. Some of the participants also bought their first Japanese sword.
The visitors to this event are increasing in numbers, and I am happy to see such interest in swords and fittings. To me, this is something that encourages me to work a little harder and become a little better at sharing my insights about the sword etc.
I’m already preparing for my next visit to Okinawa in 6 months, and looking forward to seeing some of my Okinawan friends there.
