Month: October 2021

Dear Sword Enthusiasts,

We would like to extend our sincere wishes for everyone’s continued good health.
It’s been three months since our Tokyo Nishikasai store opened on July 15th. There has been a significant decrease in the number of  people affected by the coronavirus, and there are signs of a bright economic recovery.
Therefore, we have decided to hold the First Nishikasai Token Ichi at our store from 10 am to 5 pm every day for a week from October 25th Monday to 31st Sunday.

The location of our Tokyo Nishikasai Store is 6-13-14 Nishikasai, Edogawa-ku, Marusei Building 3rd floor. It is a 1-minute walk from the south exit of Nishikasai Station on the Tozai Subway Line.

We are looking forward to your visit with a wide variety of attractive swords and sword fittings. To commemorate the first event, we have prepared a little gift for all the visitors. In addition, we will continue to wear masks, conduct a check on everyone’s temperature, and use disinfectants for hands.

On September 29th, 2021, the Dai Token Ichi Committee Members held a vote and decided to postpone the 33rd Dai Token Ichi 2021, which was scheduled to be held at the Tokyo Art Club for three days from Friday, November 19th.
As one of the committee members, I agreed with the decision that was unanimous. The reason why it was postponed is that it is difficult to ensure the carrying out of the preventive measures such as wearing masks, measuring the visitor’s temperatures, and disinfecting hands. If there are possibilities of not effectively administered, can we take the risk of canceling the event? It would be a disaster to cancel the event in the middle. This is why the Committee decided that the cost of failure and loss would be far greater than the benefits of success. The postponement will depend on the status of the Coronavirus in the future. It seems to be slowly improving, so we plan to consider holding it around May next year.
