B230.Toban Shinpin Zukan: Picture Book of Importan Tsuba

$50.00

B230,  Toban Shinpin Zukan: Picture Book of Important Tsuba  Copy and translation by Henri L. Joly, edited by Alan L. Harvie and with annotations by Robert E. Haynes & Alan L. Harvie.  Northern California Japanese Sword Club.  2002.  Spiral bound in 2 volumes, 8 1/2 x 11″, about 330 pages in English.  This is a redo of an early Japanese book: Toban Shokan Kotetsu (see B974 on my site); no idea why the title was changed.  The 2 publications aren’t exactly the same (I have found at least 1 tsuba in this book that isn’t in the other) but they must be very close.  Drawings of 313 fine tsuba, with commentary by 3 important students of the art.  For the money, this is a great reference.

Condition is as new.  2 pounds, 5 ounces.  Was $65, now $50.
