Hello, If you folks are interested in Japanese Swords and Armour there are some excellent pieces at the Toledo Museum of Art(Toledo Ohio)in the Fresh Impessions show which is closing soon on January 1st.It is a free show. I work at TMA and was asked to put together a video and display of "how Japanese swords are made" both are on display in the show, also the video has been posted on You Tube "Making a Japanese Wakizashi (short sword). I am by no means an expert on swords but I gave it my best in the short time allowed. I hope you find my efforts entertaining. I was given the honor of seeing the real swords and one suit of armour in the show up close, they are excellent.

Happy Holidays!
