B879  Shinsen Kinko Meikan by Kokubo Kenichi.  1993.  Simulated leather cover with slipcase, 8 3/4 x 6″, 565 pages in Japanese with an index in English.  The original Kinko Meikan from 1974 contained a few errors, which have been fixed in this later edition.  I’m sure there are more signatures in this edition also.  Thousands of authentic signatures of Kinko artists are shown in clear black & white: a very useful reference and one that has become almost impossible to find for sale.  This volume is referenced in Robert Haynes’ Index of Japanese Sword Fittings and Associated Artists.

The book and slipcase are in excellent, near new condition.  2 pounds, 8 ounces.  $350.
