Welcome to our website. The Token society of Great Britain is an organisation dedicated to the study and preservation of Japanese swords, fittings and armour. We have been in existence for over 40 years and enjoy an international reputation for our studious approach to the subject. Our membership includes corresponding members from all five continents.
Amongst our membership we have a number of restorers who are independent workers rather than being employed by the Society. These include tsuka-maki shi (hilt wrapper), Saya-shi (scabbard maker), habaki maker, tsuba-makers and a polisher. Their help and advice is always available. For those who require work done in Japan, our close contacts which number some of the best restorers and artisans in the world may be utilised.
Have something to say? We are always interested in your opinions. If you have any comments regarding this website or any of our other activities then please contact us.
Check out our sword register page. This includes detailed descriptions of swords accompanied with Oshigata reproductions.
