About
On this website, I present an overview of my private collection of Japanese art, including:
Nihonto (swords), Tosogu (sword fittings), and Yoroi (armor). All items are in excellent condition and come with certificates from reputable organizations such as the NBTHK and NTHK.
History
My interest in Japanese art began in childhood. Martial arts such as Judo, Aikido, and Iaido sparked my first connections with Japan. My travels to the Land of the Rising Sun for martial arts training deepened my love for Japan, its history, and its culture.
Now, after many visits to Japan and over 40 years of collecting Japanese art, I have decided to offer selected items for sale through this website.

My Private Collection Items that I include in my private collection must meet exceptionally high standards in terms of technical qualities such as: material, craftsmanship, artist, school, period, and overall quality.There must also be a certain emotional connection — a good feeling — before an item becomes part of my collection., buying and selling antique Japanese Swords such as Katana’s, Wakizashi’s and Tanto’s
My Ultimate Wish
One day, I hope to become the owner of a piece of Japanese art classified as Tokubetsu Jûyô Tôken 特別重要刀剣 – “Extraordinarily Important Work.” That would truly be the crowning glory of my collection.
I hope you enjoy exploring my collection
