Paul Martin: The Japanese Sword
My name is Paul Martin and I am a Japanese sword specialist living in Tokyo, Japan. I want to share the beauty, spirituality, and history of Japanese swords and samurai (including all the various aspects of Japanese culture where they touch), sword and steel making, Noh, Kyogen, Kagura, Martial Arts, and so forth, with you ail here on Youtube! So please subscribe today! I am a former curator in the Department of Japanese Antiquities at the British Museum, London, I have a Masters in Asian Studies from the University of California, Berkeley, and am currently a Trustee for the Nihonto Bunka Shinko Kyokai Public Foundation (NBSK). I also work closely with many sword institutions in Japan, including the Nihon Bijitsu Token Hozon Kyokai (NBTHK), providing specialist translations for books and exhibitions. I am also a recognized specialist by the Japanese Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT:???), and have my own regular column at JAPAN-Forward (Sankei Shinbun).
