From August 20th until 22nd there is a very special exposition in the SieboldHuis in Leiden (The Netherlands). After reading the description on the flyer you immediately understand that - as a swordlover - you should definitely be here:
"The oldest sword in the exposition dates back to the 14th centry and is indentified by the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo as being made by the Hasabe School. This school was founded by Hasabe Kunishige, one of the students of Masamune, the greatest Japanese sword smith of all times.
The youngest sword was forged by the Mukansa sword smith Ono Yoshimitsu in 2007. A Mukansa sword smith is considered the best of the best of sword smiths and are greatly respected in Japan."
Definitely worth checking out! Osu!
edit: I already have visited the exposition today and would like to show some blades which are on display. During the day I also had the chance to view a very nice demonstration of Katori Shinto Ryu shidosha Erik Louw. Tomorrow will be the last day so every clear their agenda and get going!
ps. The entrance fee is 7,50 euro so that's no reason not to go.

10-08-10 | Ishido Iaido seminar
The Ishido summer seminar is one of the largest Iaido events of the Benelux.
For 6 days, Ishido Shizufumi, or Ishido sensei offers personal training on Muso Shinden Ryu Iaido and Jodo. Of course The Samurai Workshop was here to enjoy the show (too bad not the training).
Lots of old and news friends but even more: SWORDS!
