Official Shinsa

For the first time ever, an official team of Japanese experts will travel to Utrecht, the Netherlands, to conduct a Shinsa (formal appraisal and certification of Japanese armor) during the Japan Art Fair.

Hosted by the Japanese Armor Society (JAS), this unique event offers collectors a rare opportunity to have their armor pieces examined and authenticated by leading authorities, without the need to ship them to Japan.

Discover if your armor holds historical significance, craftsmanship, and authenticity at the highest level on June 14th — Utrecht.
