Google “AOI Art” to glimpse an incredible number of authentic Nihonto- many are museum quality with kantiesho/origami- provenance.
Kazushige Tsuruta (Tsurata san-owner) is helpful in answering questions, in painfully broken English (which is much better than my Japanese).
No affiliation, merely a customer.
For a foreign devil, you have excellent taste in blades. Those are beautiful!

Good teacher(s).
Ah, but a sensei only selects students who are worthy of enlightenment.
I have some Japanese blades coming to me soon. I'll send you some pics when they arrive. They are a gift from an old friend.
Lucky you.
I’ll look forward to photos. Remove the tsuka (grip) and shoot the mei, any kanji.
That’s always an interesting puzzle.

I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...
