Hi Dave, its only a sidemark, that every „bibliothekar“ is welcome as a EAJRS member..

I asked the EAJRS about Mr. Koyama Noborus source of the Slide 5 estimate.. Read that esc. Every librarian is welcome as a member.

Curious on SLIDE 5 “One estimate of 1916 indicated that 90% were in foreign countries, outside Japan. Only 10 percent of „tsuba“ and other Sword Fittings were in Japan.“ https://www.eajrs.net

Thanks Dave, more water on the mill..
