    いい刀剣達……見るも良し、なれど本質は武具、正しく知り、子々孫々まで扱う技術と術理と積み上げた武術を継承する事が今を担う我々武芸者と職人達ではないかと考えさせられました。
    貴重な映像、有り難うございます

    I spent 4 years in Japan with the United states military. I immediately fell in love with the people and culture. Still fascinated after more than 25 years later. The respect and reverence she shows and the passion for these swords is inspiring and endearing. Thank you so much.

    I was lucky enough to learn about this back in 1968-87 period. I got to sit in on lectures and view some very important collections back them. I still have a small group of artifacts laying around. Even though I learned a lot I barely scratched the surface. Have fun learning about the past.

    Being a Blacksmith, I have always enjoyed seeing and appreciating the craftmanship of Japanese steel. I think that every one of these beautiful specimens has part of the soul of the maker in them. I especially have great regard for Ms. Seshimo for showing the virtue of the Bushido code of "Respect" by bowing to the blade, which it deserves, as she appraises it.
