Hello Debbie

Thanks for your suggestions. I have written to MAS, who have sent me a very sympathetic reply. I will post again with the result. The point about the koiguchi is that it is too small, and the walls of the saya too flimsy to tolerate any work on them.

In my last post my memory failed me. The actual price of the sword was $460 US, about £240.

Yes, I do MJER with Brian. I like learning from him because he teaches about power coming from softness and technique, rather than athleticism or aggressiveness. He also understands about humility. I don't have any wish to open up a new debate about that, since I know I will never persuade anyone else. It is simply that Brian's way of teaching and his understanding of the meaning of iaido accord with mine. It is a privilege to learn from him. How do you know him?

Thanks again for your supportive suggestions.

At your service

Peter
