An interview with Toshio Takahashi, owner of the Samurai Gallery Shingendo, is also featured in the article.
SHINGENDO

 ―This project is for beginners, but how should I study swords?
Takahashi Ikeda-sensei often told us that it was not enough to look only at swords. He told me that I would not be able to enter the world of art if I did not look at and memorize other arts and crafts, not to mention props. That is why I collected celadon porcelain and Shigaraki ceramics. I also collected celadon porcelain and Shigaraki porcelain, and I could certainly understand the greatness of swords. Japanese swords were the official tools of samurai warriors, so the name of the sword’s maker, in other words, its maker’s name, has appeared since the late Heian period. This is something that can only be seen on special items, such as Buddhist master Unkei, and is not seen on ceramics or lacquerware. From the end of the Heian period, the samurai rose to power and unified the Japanese society. What Taira no Kiyomori tried to do was replaced by the Minamoto clan, which led to the Ashikaga clan, which was again disrupted and moved to the Momoyama and Edo periods. During this period, various battles took place in different forms, and the styles of swords also changed. Therefore, knowing the history is directly related to learning about swords.

―Do you have some advices for bigginers?
TakahashiI guess it is important to go to a trusted store to see and buy.

―There may be times when it is not clear what you are looking at.
TakahashiWhen you do, please ask to see not only one sword, but several swords together. If you compare the swords, you will understand the difference between them. If you go to a proper store, they will show you a variety of swords and explain to you why one is cheaper and the other is more expensive.
