I'm bumping this up again, in the hope that people who haven't seen it, or people who saw it and never got around to checking out the petition, will take a look and sign.
It was a great exhibition, and it would be nice to see a second one. Though modern, these swords are very much a cultural expression, since they are present-day interpretations of old styles and themes, and though they are produced for culturally different reasons than their "ancestors," they reflect a certain unique thread in our contemporary society(ies) that is very strong and ties us to our past in a somewhat unexpected way.
So, sign early, sign often. Tell your friends.
