NCJSC - Facts and History:

The Mission statement of the NCJSC as stated in the articles of incorporation:

"The specific and primary purposes are to institute programs for the study and appreciation of and promote and undertake activities to encourage the preservation of ancient and modern Japanese samurai blades, sword fixtures, armours and related objects for their cultural, artistic and historical values and aesthetic and expert craftsmanship."

The NCJSC logo is in the form of a Japanese sword guard, or tsuba. The characters on the face of the tsuba are read "Hoku-Ka To-Ken Club". The translation is  "Northern California (Japanese) Sword Club". The design is by Mr. Kojima, and has been used since at least 1973.
