The Japanese Sword Society of the United States
The JSSUS is recognized by the IRS as a charitable and educational organization for the appreciation and advanced
study of the Japanese art sword and related fields of interest.
The JSSUS is currently working on some big changes. We are starting an email list that will be used to get information to members. Please sign up below. Membership is free at this time. We are no longer mailing newsletters and are switching to our web-based platform for all JSSUS news, articles and projects.
There are several changes to the website. These include a
Newsletter Archive (in progress), adding
Marks Corner to the site (info on upcoming sword shows) and moving some of the articles from the navigation bar to the
Articles page. Please take a look at these changes and more improvements to follow soon.....
New articles are now being accepted for website publication.
