Yep and it's a 40 minute drive from where I live in Saitama. :)

I'm thinking about visiting. It looks too good to be true.

Found them on the web just a day before you posted this. I like the little cartoon animal avatars. Nice contrast pics of a nagamaki and a naginata (how I found them...ty google). Also a nice standard way of tying a sword bag is there...though I suspect there's more than one way...like sageo? perhaps this is the sword-dealers sword-bag tie.

matane (or is that even appropriate for internet? learned it from a college girlfriend long ago),

"dewa, mata kondo" for formal writing. Mata....informal (mata mata).
Matane is cool though...I think.

This is a seriously cute site, esp. with the ummm...unique style of English.

I dunno about sword dealers, but that's the way _I_ tie up my swordbags. I discovered that knot independantly in a general book of knots [it was identified as a 'Japanese decorative knot] and spent part of an evening learning to tie it...
