by Kokan Nagayama (Author),
Kodansha USA (Publisher)
Product Specifications
Book Description
Recently Japanese swords have gained enormous popularity as art objects with
collectors and enthusiasts around the world, but until now much of the most
detailed information on the subject has been available only in Japanese. This
comprehensive guide to the appreciation and appraisal of the blades of Japanese
swords provides, at last, all the background that readers need to become true
connoisseurs.
The book is organized along historical lines for the sake of clarity and
convenience, and its approach is always practical. Broad discussions of each
tradition within the Gokaden focus on the features that distinguish specific
schools and smiths-the various kinds of jihada, hamon, boshi, and hataraki
favored
