New (German) Publication: Nihon-shinto-shi

[Markus]

It´s me again. I was able to finish another project which I was working

at alongside other projects since I did the German version of Dr. Honma´s

"Nihon-koto-shi". So this is now the "Nihon-shinto-shi", the history of the

shinto era, for the present in German, but an English version will follow...

 

Its 444 paperback pages with 321 b/w pics and oshigata. I attach the

table of contents and a preview so that you can get a general idea of

the publication.

 

Thank you for your attention.

And for the English readers, please have patience with me.

Markus,

 

thanks for this new nice book!

...I think I decreased my bank account five minutes ago...

Dear Markus,

 

Would it be possible for you to tell us when an english version will be available of that nice book ?

 

Best regards,

[Jean]

Gilles,

 

Not nice book but nice books for AFAIK, I have not seen the koto book in English.

[Markus]

@Gilles: The English version is basically finished. Just some proof reading

and then it might be out in two or three weeks. I keep you all up-to-date.

 

@Jean: The English one was provided by the NBTHK some time ago, with

the pics in the Token-Bijutsu magazines.

Dear Markus,

 

Please excuse my friend Jean. At his advanced age, he is becoming quite anxious to know everything about KOTO swords. Quite an interesting pathology for the medical corps. :D

[Jean]

I apologized for my friend Gilles who mistakes your first name Markus with NBTHK name :D. because he is still a kid ( in his early fifties, but what is it for a hobbit?), his poor oppressed brain can't go back further than the 19th century (shinshinto)

 

PS: Gilles is an old dear modernist friend who collects almost only Shinshinto Katana (because of his frail stature, he collects also polerarms whatever the era.)
