B911.  Kunozan Toshogu Densei no Bunkazai.  1994.  Clothbound with slipcase, 10 1/2 x 13 3/4″, 173 pages in Japanese.  Kunozan Toshogu is one of 2 great shrines built after the death of Tokugawa Iyeyasu and dedicated to his memory (the other being Nikko).  This beautiful book presents possessions of Iyeyasu kept at the shrine, centered on great swords and koshirae.  Incredible pieces are presented in crisp black & white photos and oshigata (one of each for each sword) and color photos for the koshirae.  The guy had great stuff.

Other than for a bit of fading on the book’s spine, condition is excellent (the slipcase is cleaner than the one in my picture). This book is with a trusted consignor in Japan. He will ship and my usual guarantee applies. 4 pounds, 11 ounces.  $350.
