B432.  Shinshinto Nyumon by Shibata.  1969.  Hardbound with dust jacket and plastic jacket, 6 x 8 ½”, 238 pages in Japanese.  If you collect Shinshinto this would be a great book to take to shows; much easier to lug around then the Sninshinto Taikan.  Photos and oshigata of many great blades of the period.

This book (not the one in my picture) has a different dust jacket which is a bit frazzled. The plastic jacket is ratty and you can throw it away when you get the book. The book has been used but not abused: good reading condition. 1 pound, 6 ounces.  $20.
