PRESERVATION OF THE SWORD ART OF JAPAN

“The ancient Shinto religion endowed him with intelligence and will. This is a gift from the gods, which brings harmony to people. It is one of the three sacred regalia of the Japanese emperors. For a warrior and a powerful soul, it is essentially the same: the samurai continues his journey until his blade is intact. The Japanese tradition is a cold recovery not only from the decline of the past, but from the greatest infusion of history and the spirit of its land. Swords don’t just have a soul, they have a special vibration that arises when a border of space breaks into our standard light, where a harmony of beauty and strength is born. Drinking them stops the beating heart and gives the opportunity to touch the perfection of forms, visible in the cold steel, from the moon of great battles.”

The Nippon Bijutsu Token Hozon Kyokai, or Society for the Preservation of the Japanese Sword (NBTHK), is the world’s most respected organization dedicated to the preservation of the art of Japanese bladed weapons. The NBTHK was established with the support of the Japanese government in 1948 to save Japanese swords from destruction after the occupation by the American armed forces. Homma Sensei and Sato Sensei had a lot of work to convince the military authorities that these swords have cultural value not only for Japan, but also for the whole world and they should not be destroyed. Today, as 70 years ago, NBTHK’s primary goal is to preserve the art of Japanese swords, and to educate and educate those interested in the study of historical swords and their design. The headquarters of NBTHK is located in the Museum of Japanese Swords, which is located in the capital of Japan – Tokyo. NBTHK also supports modern craftsmen who carry on traditions that are over a thousand years old. The organization sponsors regular exhibitions as well as annual competitions for contemporary blacksmiths, hardware makers and sword polishers. NBTHK also conducts Shinsu – examination of Japanese swords and frames. Items can be submitted to the Sword Museum for Sinsu to determine the authenticity and artistry of the swords, whether or not they have been signed by the masters. The NBTHK certificate is the most respected and prestigious document of authenticity that a Japanese sword or other bladed weapon can receive.
