B579.  Sukashi Tsuba in Europaischen Sammlungen by Eckhard Kremers.  1994.  Hardbound with dust jacket, 7 ¾ x 10 ¾”, 189 pages in English and German.  After an introductory section with articles (in both languages) about tsuba, the book gets down to great old iron tsuba, arranged chronologically and by school, and illustrated with crisp black & white photos.  Each tsuba is shown life size and commented upon in both languages.

I just took in 20 copies of this book, new old stock and the last the publisher had to sell.  I have marked my price down to where these should move quickly.  This is a great book now at a great price and when they’re gone, they’re gone.

The book is in excellent condition. It is with a trusted consignor in Europe; he will ship and my usual guarantee applies. 2 pounds, 3 ounces.  $85.
