B1023.  Nihonto Juyo Bijutsuhin Zenshu volume 2.  1985.  Clothbound with slipcase, 8 1/2 x 12″, 243 pages in Japanese (the name of each smith is given in English also).  Juyo Bijutsuhin is a ranking given to art objects by the government of Japan; it is the last step below Kokuho (National Treasure).  Only exceptional quality and or very important pieces are included.

This is one volume of an 8 volume set (see my listing B395 for the complete set).  115 swords are found in this volume, given with well done oshigata and crisp photography.  The complete set is pricey; this book lets you see the quality without the financial pain.  Condition is like new.  3 pounds, 12 ounces.  $55.
