Gentlemen
Please
find, when following the link below, a 12 point document. This is a code of good practice which I am
confident makes sense for any collector or user of Japanese swords. Whilst you
may find it unnecessary and rather Politically Correct, I assure you that in
today’s health and safety environment, it is essential for us all to
acknowledge and act in accordance with these guidelines. They are set out in
order that we may continue to collect and study Japanese swords with impunity
and to demonstrate that we do this in a responsible and safe manner.
If
you download and sign the document, and return it with a £10 subscription, to
the address shown below, you will be included on the To-Ken Society’s data
base and issued with a membership card. This will be renewable on an annual
basis for a further £5 per annum. If you are in procession of a membership
card, officers of the society will be able to testify, should it become
necessary, that you have agreed to be bound by our guidelines. You will also, of
course, be fully entitled to attend meetings and enjoy all other privileges of
membership.
Please
download and send your copy of the guidelines document, plus your £10 first
year’s subscription and registration (cheques should be made out to To-ken
Society of Great Britain), to:
