The 2nd Mito Token Ichi was held for two days from May 31st to June 1st. It took place at the Mito Civic Center that is a modern and functional art and cultural facility that opened in July last year in Ibaraki Prefecture. Due to its central location, the event was full of visitors from both Mito City and other parts of the prefecture.
Many of the Mito Swords and the Mito Fittings were purchased during the event and far exceeded my expectations and I felt a strong admiration for the local area’s love of the Mito Tradition. I was thrilled to see many well known Mito collectors in attendance. I am grateful that this event was a great success when the first Mito Token Ichi didn’t turn out well. I can feel a sigh of relief and am already looking forward to the next Mito Token Ichi.
