Hi. I'm Samurai_Japan, a new member as of 04/06/2008.
How would you like to have your very own representative, boots on the ground in Japan, procuring authentic samurai items or other antiques for you?
I buy mostly from auctions and sell on eBay under the name araki0726 (key in item number 140208409329, for example, and also check out my feedback for the types of items I sell) as well as directly to an ever growing list of satisfied regular customers and friends all over the world. If you wish to purchase authentic samurai items or other Japanese antiques (tansu, ceramics, buddhist statues, etc.) I can search for particular items for you and send pictures and information directly by email. Serious inquiries only please! Also note, that due to local laws, I do not deal in any katana or other blades over 15cm in length. Contact me at schmidt_araki@ybb.ne.jp and let me know what you need.
Led by my long interest in the samurai, in 1990 I came from Canada to live in Himeji, Japan, home of the largest samurai castle surviving in original condition today. As a member of a local guide group, I have studied the amazing devices of Himeji Castle (a UNESCO World Heritage Site) in minute detail, and have enjoyed broadening my knowledge of samurai practices, thinking and lifestyle, as well. Also 5 minutes from my home is a 1,000 years old buddhist temple, Engyouji, which was used in the 2002 filming of "The Last Samurai". I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Tom Cruise, Ken Watanabe and other prominent cast members on this great samurai story.
Yoroshiku! Kelly.
