The Dai Touken Ichi 2022 successfully came to a close for the first time in three years. The last two years there was no event due to COVID-19. This year many enthusiasts visited the event from all over the world, including sword traders and craftsmen. However, we still took precautions against COVID-19 such as wearing masks. The Dai Touken Ichi is a great opportunity to meet and to renew old friendships with all the local and international enthusiasts and get to know each other better as well as selling our items. We all actively exchanged information, and it was a very fulfilling three days. I am looking forward to next year’s event with great anticipation.
