*** 38 Years as a Samurai Sword Collector and Dealer in Tokyo Japan --- Unique Samurai Swords and Beautiful Japanese Art Found Nowhere Else !!!

Samurai Swords for Sale from James Miller in Tokyo Japan
Hello to all my customers. I have been collecting and buying and selling Japanese Samurai Swords for 38 years now. I read, speak, and write Japanese and English. I have a Tokyo Samurai Sword Gallery, for the last 30 years, and am an incorporated company with all the art and antique dealer registrations needed and rarely given to foreigners living in Japan. I love Japanese Samurai Swords because they are amazing antique weapons, amazingly beautiful, far and away superior to any sword ever made in any other country. And although the technology is amazing, the outside mounts of gold and silver and shakudo and shibuichi are incredibly beautiful too.
I wish I could meet each and every collector at my gallery, to talk and teach so that you may learn from me, but I cannot. I am nearing retirement, so am mostly selling Samurai Swords on my many, many Internet sties, just as I also collect and sell Daimyo Tachi, Juyo Swords, Samurai Armor, Samurai Armour and Yoroi, Ninja Armor, Japanese Sword Guards, Japanese Sword Mounts and Fittings, Kozuka, Fuchi-Kashira, Menuki: (I have one the world's largest collection of these incredibly beautiful Japanese Samurai Sword Mounts and Fittings), as well as my other specialties: Buddhist Paintings, Buddhist Statues, Japanese Ukiyo-e Woodblock Prints, Shin Hanga, Japanese Shunga (Pillow Books), Japanese Helmets and Kabuto, Mempo Face Masks, Menpo, Japanese Matchlock Wall Cannons and other Matchlocks,
as well as Japanese Scroll Paintings, Zen Paintings, Japanese Oil Paintings, Western Oil Paintings and Bronzes, Japanese Gold Lacquer Inro and Suzuribako, Porcelain, and a few items of Chinese and Korean Art. Yes, it is an amazing selection and a huge collection, indeed too much for me to take care of any more, but this is all I have been doing for the last 38 years, and it has been my whole life, and these are the results.
