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.

We are no longer mailing newsletters and are switching to our web-based platform for all JSSUS news, articles and projects. Membership is free at this time. Please sign up below.

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.
