B606.  Shinto Shu by Fujishiro.  1971.  Clothbound with plastic jacket and slipcase, 7 1/2 x 10 1/2″, 223 pages in Japanese.  Hundreds of well done oshigata of important smiths of Shinto (new sword period).  Great companion volume to Fujishiro’s Nihon Toko Jiten.

Included with the book is a clothbound, 8 1/2 x 11″, 67 page translation of the text to English by Steven Winkley. This is the first time for me to see a clothbound copy of this translation; didn’t know such a thing existed.

The book is is well read: the cover is rubbed a tiny bit on a bottom edge and the binding is a bit bothered. No loose pages; it has been used.  The translation is as new.  3 pounds, 14 ounces.  $150.
