Japanese Traditional Craft

Sword Guard Front

This is my first purchase in my life a part of the Japanese Sword.  I could not buy a sword but its guard - Tsuba(鍔)at the Japanese Sword Show in San Francisco today.

I have the passion to succeed this Japanese traditional crafts for the future.  A lot of traditional crafts are facing difficult era to succeed into the next generation since most of them are not well as business.

There are many traditional crafts in Japan but I would focus on the Japanese swords since I fell in love with them.  It might be because I am one of the martial arts practitioners.
