Noda-kai Sword Auction Annual Taikai was held at the Noda Business Hotel. On the previous day, everyone had a great time at the gathering, where they were fascinated by magician Hitomi’s tricks and had fun competing in a rock-paper-scissors game for participation fee free tickets. On the main event day of the Taikai, about 60 sword dealers participated, and some Juyo Token, many attractive swords and sword fittings were put up for auction, resulting in a record-high turnover. I received many words of appreciation from the participants, and all the staff were filled with a sense of satisfaction as they successfully completed the long and busy two days.
