Japanese Antique Armour Specialist
Musashiya
Managing director Makio Saruta started his courier of Kendo when he was 10 years old. Ever since he still practices Kendo till today.
Ironically, the enthusiasm for the beauty of the Japanese antique sword came to him in Paris France, while he taught Kendo as an instructor.
His courier of antiquary started in Sakai city after returning from Paris in 1975.
Taking our ancestor's work and spirits to heart enable his passion to continue.
The value of his trade is sword over 50,000, Yoroi and Kabuto are more than 10,000.
These numbers are top class in the world.
The most impressive deal was when he brought back two swords from abroad.
The swords are registered as an Important Cultural Property by Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology of Japan, but somehow had been sold right after 2nd World War illegally.
When he returned to the Airport with these, the media was waiting to interview and celebrate the sword's return.
He has been trying to bring the historical arts such as Katana (Sword), Yoroi, and Kabuto back to its original country. And now, he believes his mission is to pass on these beautiful art crafts to people who understand its value and can care for its history with fascination to pass these great arts down the generations.
