Juyo -  A Private Affair
Of course, a collector is only interested in certain Juyo.

The purpose of a Juyo Club is not only to provide pieces that specifically fit the collector's criteria but also to search-out a selection that would normally be unavailable. 

This can only be accomplished with the agency of a Juyo Club. A proactive intermediary working  on behalf of the collector.

As well, the Juyo Club then quickly becomes a world-wide "catch," -a place where an individual Juyo, looking for a home, can find an individual collector with specific interest. 

So the Juyo Club becomes a very special place. 

The Juyo Club is where very special pieces are found and made available for those with an actual interest to acquire them. 

Members are Anonymous
The Juyo Club must be closed and private. Careful control and attention to privacy retains the desired quiet for the actual Juyo Art Sword or Kodogu.

Juyo Club members have an individual Pass-Key, or "log-on and password" which opens their personal Juyo management portfolio. 

The Juyo management portfolio can be as complete or as limited as the collector desires. Areas of collecting interest are categorized and potential acquisitions are compared. Reference, analysis and support notes attend prospective pieces. Current market may be accessed from every page and notices of newly available pieces will be sent regularly. 

A whole collection can be catalogued, if wished, and arranged. Or one may choose to see presentations, alone. It is entirely up to the collector. 


Please understand: Respondents must be actual Juyo owners or prospective owners. The Juyo Club is for them exclusively.
