B364.  Nihonto Swords of Japan a Visual Glossary, Zusetsu Nihonto Yogo Jiten by Kajihara Kotoken.  1989.  Clothbound, the slipcase is missing, 10 ½ x 14”, 600 pages.  This book illustrates identifies and explains everything and then some about Nihonto.  I’m not exaggerating here; the table of contents goes on for pages.  It’s hard to believe there could be anything on or about a sword for which you could ask, “What’s that called.” that this book won’t answer.  This is the Japanese half of a 2 volume set; it has the illustrations and text in Japanese, with titles in English also.  To see the other volume check my listing B705.

Condition is excellent.  8 pounds, 5 ounces.  $150.
