Self-introduction
My profession is an antique dealer.
I used to deal in old Japanese traditional crafts, Ukiyoe, Japanese swords, etc.
I especially like Japanese swords because I loved the work of blacksmiths. Through the blacksmith connection, I also began to handle Japanese carpentry tools. The idea of making a sandwich of steel and iron, which is unique to Japan, is wonderful. Tools demand care. The quality of the care itself is valued in proportion to the quality of the carpentry work. Also, much can be learned from care.
We will be sending out such information from Japan.
