Neuwied, October 12th 2024, Nihonto Club Deutschland

On Saturday, October 12th , 2024, the “Nihonto Club Deutschland” held its last meeting of the year in Neuwied.

Unfortunately, many members were unable to attend the meeting, so only 7 members and one guest were present. However, these members presented an amazing variety of nihonto of exceptional quality from different schools and masters across different eras.

Because only a few members were present, there was more than enough time to look at the blades and study them carefully.

Ready for kantei


The following nihonto were exhibited:

Kantei #1

  1. Katana Gassan Sadakazu
  2. Katana Kunisada (Father of Inoue Shinkai)
  3. Wakizashi Sendai Kunikane (2nd Generation)
