A foreigner selling antique swords in Japan | Paul Tsuba | Tokyo Hangout

Years ago Paul moved from Germany to Japan, where he quickly established a successful business selling antique Japanese swords, scabbards and "tsuba-s" (sword mountings).

We met up in a café in Ginza on a rainy day for a super pleasant chat about his beginnings in Germany, relocating to Japan, learning the ropes of selling antiques, the history of Japanese swords... and missing home.
