Thank you so much for watching! ******************** Welcome to my YouTube Channel! 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:観光庁), and have my own regular column at JAPAN-Forward (Sankei Shinbun). I am also a Samurai Spirit Tourism Ambassador for the Tohoku Region The sword in Japan is not merely a weapon, it is a sublime piece of functional art, with deep spiritual and historical significance to the Japanese people. Just like Mount Fuji and Cherry Blossoms, the Japanese sword is an enduring symbol of Japan. It is my hope to share my love and passion for Japanese swords with all of you here on YouTube and make the Japanese sword accessible to the world by introducing the Japanese sword to new audiences from a Japanese perspective. That is why I created this Channel for the promotion and preservation of Japanese swords and related craftsmen.
