The awareness of the\u00a0event was able to spread. The\u00a0visitors were not only local, but also came from the neighboring prefectures of Akita and Aomori. Also, we had a visit from the contemporary Mukansa Swordsmith, Yamaguchi Kiyofusa, who is 90 years old. We were able to hear about his valuable experiences with his\u00a0forging skills and Mochi tetsu (local iron).\u00a0\u00a0The performance of the event was lower than\u00a0usual, but I feel there is potential. I will do my best to make the next event in May 2024 a success.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2nd Morioka Token Ichi sales event was held for 3 days from Friday, May 12th at the Iwate Prefectural Information Exchange Center in the hope it would be a good opportunity for the people of Iwate Prefecture to become\u00a0familiar with Japanese swords and attract new\u00a0and existing sword collectors.\u00a0In addition to making advanced newspaper advertisements, &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/2023\/05\/24\/the-2nd-morioka-token-ichi-may-15-2023\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">The 2nd Morioka Token Ichi    May 15, 2023<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1588"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1588"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1588\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1589,"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1588\/revisions\/1589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1588"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1588"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.touken-matsumoto.jp\/eng\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1588"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
