Swords & Fittings Shops |
This is an excellent UK based site dedicated to the preservation of fine, exceptional Japanese swords and fittings whilst safeguarding these treasures for future generations. As Ian puts it himself, My main objective in setting up this website is to enable other like-minded Japanese enthusiasts to enhance their own collections from a reliable, trustworthy source. I'm a strong believer in not messing about, or changing things from original, and only having restoration work done by a Japanese trained professional if absolutely necessary. |
