Welcome to the Northern Token Society UK
The Northern To-Ken Society was originally formed in 1964 and has been an important point of contact between enthusiasts of Japanese Arms and Armour in the Northern portion of the UK ever since.
Our membership consists of people from all walks of life joined in the appreciation study and preservation of Japanese swords, armour and fittings.
If you have a love of history, an eye for beauty and an enquiring nature then you'll be among like minded people.
Our society caters for beginners through to experienced students.
Members help each other at all levels, to understand and therefore get greater enjoyment of these unique works of art - and the skills used to produce them.
You can get help and advice on everything from your very first blade to the most difficult of translations.
You will learn about the various techniques of sword making and why they are so different.
Learn about the incredible complexity and make up of Japanese armour and explore the artistry that is the Tsuba.
Find out about Japanese history and understand why the people of the samurai class and their masters were such unique individuals.
