Has this woman no common sense! No one should hold the blade of a Samurai Sword with bare fingers or hands! The natural oil from the hand and fingers can remain on the blade and eventually form rust..

A few snaps from Japan.. Didn't take enough and none will come even close to showing what an amazing place it is. Best country I've visited for sure. Can't wait to go back.

Cheers fella - I'll upload a few more later on. It is from the orSlow atelier outside of Osaka, I've got a few more pictures from the visit that will be posted. As a very big fan of orSlow it was a great experience to meet Ichiro and hear him explain about his inspiration and thoughts on the brand. His collection of garments and his sample archive was absolutely amazing.

Was it very pricey over there,i'll not be going i'm just nosey
Cheers - Will do sometime during the next few days!
To be fair it wasn't close to being as expensive as most had told me. We mostly stayed in Japanese guest houses that were ridicilously cheap compared to Danish hotel prices. Food was cheap as well, and the standard was so high that an average meal was well above what you pay 30-40 quid for over here.
As for clothes, Japanese brands was obviously cheaper due to import taxes and shipping, about 30-40% cheaper on average. Imported brands like post, eg was the same or slighlyore expensive. Transport was cheap too, so overall an affordable trip. That bein said I still spent way more than I had haha.. And a final note - you won't meet friendlier people!!
