Touken Matsumoto held the Noda-kai Sword Auction Event in Tsukuba. This was the third time this year to celebrate the 27th anniversary of the start of Noda-kai. More than fifty sword traders were in attendance and event space was filled with swords and sword fittings. The Event started from 10:00am and continued until 5:00pm. Throughout the Event everyone was active and enthusiastic. The overall results of the Event were more than twenty percent than the previous Event. I was very happy of this Event’s success. After the auction, we enjoyed a dinner party with a fun Bingo game instead of last Event’s performance.
