Your English is perfectly fine! Thank you for posting this video. Here in the US, I go to the MET in NYC to their arms and armor section to see a collection of Katana, Armor and other things. However, when I go to Japan, I always wanted to see Norimitsu in person. Now you have given me another reason to go and visit this incredible museum you just visited. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
Hello, thank you very much for this posting, it is excellent. As an Englishman living in the UK I can say your English is excellent, thank you for doing this.
Thank you so much for this wonderful tour. I did not expect to find such an excellent new video, tonight. Also, your English is formidable; please have no concern about that.
Your TH-cam channel is definetly worth a thumb up and some comments about Ninja equipment that is not part of your TH-cam channel video. Then there is a unpleasent truth about Japanese Yakuza that also has their part of Japan culture history with Samurai and Ninjas that should not be forgotten. One thing i need to make sure if i am ever going to visit Japan is to make sure that everything is okay with the Yakuza so they also feels respected by my future visit as a tourist foreigner to make sure to follow all Japanese laws and rules of Japan.
TH-cam used to be for this kind of content. People posting about their countries, about their culture and things that a normal foreigners can never visit or even think of visiting... I know a lots of museums do not allow taking pictures or making videos... but I thank for those that allow it. Not everyone have money to travel around, many can't even leave the city their live in a life time. Thanks for this video.
Absolutely brilliant thank you for taking the time to show us these beautiful treasure. When I come to Japan I will be going to that museum. Thank you again.
Really great video, I have always been in awe of the majesty of the Samurai sword and those that had to wield it in battle. Japan has such an honorable history when it comes to the time of the Samurai!!! Thank you.
Goosbumps that they have the original swords of the legendary men who shaped the history of ancient japan, and in such good condition. Crazy that they haven't been lost to time and war.
Thank you for sharing such an amazing video! These swords look absolutely magical-like something straight out of a golden age. We're so fortunate to witness these mythical masterpieces. Thanks again! ❤
"Koken Mumei" still kept the hexagonal blade cross-section with the fullers. That's really somethin'. The nakago (the tang) looks old, but still usable.
Thank you very much for this post fascinating and intriguing the type of post that inspires a perso to learn more. I have to say you have done an excellent job presenting the post your english was of the highest standard clear and precise and most importantly understandable. You told the story very well and made me want to visit this very important cultural museum to learn more. You canbe very proud of yourself fair play young man
When MacArthur found out that his troops had been stealing all the Japanese Swords he put s stop to it and had as many as he could returned. He didnt want the Japanese to hate Americans and stealing the family Sword would have led to that.
Thank you for this video and tour. You did an excellent job. I would like to have seen a map with location, but you did a great job. Great narration as well. I sliced that subscribe button with my Katana! Rangers... Lead the Way!
I believe some of the national treasures displayed in the museum are the copies from the original ones. Secretly the holy relics are not displayed to the public, they might ask the best swordsmiths to recreate the exact copies for the public. Even so, it's a good thing. I prefer to keep the originals relics outside of crazy maniacs hands.
HOK-san, have you ever been to Tozando Katana Shop in Kyoto? They have beautiful blades too. ⚔️🙋🏻♂️🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵 BTW, your English was fine, and I say this as a teacher. 👨🏻🏫
there are more guns in medieval Japan then the whole Europe and their colonies combined. Oda Nobunaga loved guns if he could arm the dogs with guns, he would do that.
The usual Japanese tendency to turn everything they do into a work of art, even though that same mentality of perfection often turns into immobility. For centuries their swords were always basically the same design repeated over and over again with very little variation, while in Europe new models were continually reinvented, constantly seeking efficiency in variation, continually innovating. The Japanese perfected the matchlock weapons taken by the Europeans to the limits of a model that had already become outdated centuries ago, but were unable to advance from there, until the West again put them back on the path of innovation in the 19th century. When one path opens, another often closes.
It was China that invented gunpowder and the pipe gun. It was probably the Ottoman Empire that improved it into a modern gun. The matchlock guns that the Portuguese brought to Japan are almost the same as Turkish guns from a hundred years earlier. If Europeans are great innovators, as you believe, why couldn't they have invented guns in the first place? Also, flintlock guns existed in 16th-century Japan, but they were simply disliked by the Japanese. Before you get complacent with your fantasy of "Japanese lack of innovation," you should look into how many different kinds of guns were invented in Japan in the 50 years since the Portuguese brought guns to Japan.
@@001suisen4 It is clear that the race for innovation, science and finally the industrial revolution began in the European Renaissance and spread in the 19th century from the West outwards, not the other way around. Which does not mean that the rest of the world did not know how to do things. But it is clear that in the 19th century when the West met Japan again, a developed world found the same medieval country that it had found 3 centuries earlier, dressing the same, eating the same and fighting the same. It is not my problem if you do not like historical reality.

Its thrilling to see the real pieces from such a long time ago. Very impressive that through so much conflict, these items were preserved.

Excellent Museum. Thank u for beautiful video.👍❤️🗡️🇧🇩🇯🇵
That is one for the next visit. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for the tour, next time we go to Japan we will put it on our list of places to go to. Your English is very good and prefer your voice 😊

Thank you for this!
Thank You for this video. It is very well presented and I hope to visit this museum in the near future.
Wow ❤ bravo 👏
Damn it, if I was there I would just pass by it. How do I know it's a myseum? 😢
Love the video. This is honestly quite ideal for a video tour. I understood you very well and took a lot from the imagery and the video.
I'm surprised all of this isn't in a British museum
That Miura Shugen naginata naoshi wakizashi is my favorite, as well as the Kunihiro katana. A lot of history in that place.
That’s great thanks enjoyed the visit
beautiful.
Очень красиво !! Автору большое спасибо !!
I love the beauty of katanas
"Koken Mumei" still kept the hexagonal blade cross-section with the fullers. That's really somethin'. The nakago (the tang) looks old, but still usable.
very beautiful museum
Your English was very, very good! Keep it up! I am going to Nagoya this November, and will visit this place and Nagoya Castle

You canbe very proud of yourself fair play young man
I visited the National Sword Museum in 1991 when I was stationed in Japan while in the Air Force. Oh how I wish this was in existence back then.
Your English was very good,,,youre so lucky to have this in your country.
Thank you for such an interesting and cool video!
Looks like an awesome place. Will definitely visit when I travel to Japan in the not so distant future. Can’t wait.
Great flog by the way.
Wow amazing, what a beautiful sword 🤩🤩🤩
This place is awesome 👏😆. So many swords!
This is very cool and will definitely have to make it on my list of to do’s if I ever get the chance to make it to the beautiful country of Japan.
Very Nice..Thanks

Wonderful video. The museum looks amazing, and I hope I can visit someday. Your English is excellent.

I enjoyed your video! Hello from Nova Scotia Canada!
Cool. ✌️
Wow such a beautiful museum I'd love to visit someday and your English is really good

Ich war in der Ausstellung in Berlin.War auch sehr faszinierend. 👍👍

You would love the Royal Armouries museum in the UK....
Wow, what a cool place. Pack it up and go on the road. First stop, America please.

@@TheGoffense313 🙏🙏
👍👍
今日は、素敵な動画ありがとうございました😃👍。しかしちょっと質問があります。ビデオで紹介している博物館は「刀剣コレクションルーム名古屋・丸の内」という展示じゃないですね？
very nice
thank
Do they have a website?

Its to late 🤷♂️ u.s. Soldiers have stolen a lot of the best swords as a soveniers . 😩
Your English is very good, great job. Do they remove the sword from the pommel for display ?
Nice
Do you have a address and name of the museum? All I get is a different place on google maps
HOK-san, have you ever been to Tozando Katana Shop in Kyoto? They have beautiful blades too. ⚔️🙋🏻♂️🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵 BTW, your English was fine, and I say this as a teacher. 👨🏻🏫
I've never visited there, but I know that name! I would visit there oneday, thank you for telling me that!
Nice, more videos like this. Also prefer your voice over the AI voice.
Would love to see you visit some Katana makers. ❤❤❤❤

Which city is the museum located in?
Amazing! Ig one were to visit, approximately how long would one expect to spend at the museum?
there are more guns in medieval Japan then the whole Europe and their colonies combined. Oda Nobunaga loved guns if he could arm the dogs with guns, he would do that.
I totally thought the narrator was the guy that ran this Channel haha totally expected a white dude to match the voice
Can you use your phone to translate the lore or is it disrespectful to take your phone out in this museum?
I think Heian and earlier swords are more interesting.
😎
Not a single bokken there?? Surely they had a few you could show.
🙏🍀🇫🇷
Mini-spears?

あなたは典型的な「偽の歴史家」です。
17世紀から250年間、日本で兵器の進歩が止まったのは、すべて政治的な理由です。
それまで銃の製造は民間企業の責任でしたが、徳川幕府はそれを厳格な国家管理下に置いた。
この政策の結果、日本は2世紀半にわたって完全な平和を享受し、内戦や銃乱はありませんでした。
個人や企業が自由に銃を製造できない社会で、銃はどうやって進歩するのか。
It was China that invented gunpowder and the pipe gun.
It was probably the Ottoman Empire that improved it into a modern gun.
The matchlock guns that the Portuguese brought to Japan are almost the same as Turkish guns from a hundred years earlier.
