Reference Work Title Translation, Please?

[Paleo_joe]

I bought these Japanese sword reference books at an estate sale. Can anyone tell what the titles translate to? They look great in my living room but I would like to know more. Thank you so much for any assistance you can provide! Best regards, Joe

The first set is Fujishiro's koto and Shinto set worth $300-400.

The first two are commonly referred to as Fujishiro's (authors name) - It's a Shinto and a Koto volume. They're very handy and a must have imo :-) Well done. 

Third one is Nihonto Yogo Jiten (I think?)

And the last one Yushu To Zuruko by the NTHK

Thanks so much for the info so far!  There is nothing better in the world than finding a forum of experts -- you all rock! These are worth $$ so I guess my wife will have to start learning to live with out them. I think I will put the Fujishiro Koto and Shinto over in the for sale section here and try and save some ebay fees.

The green book is paperbound and contains a bunch of full-size fold-out drawings of swords.

Green book is Meito Oshigata Shu - Koto 1

 

You got some excellent books there, very nice score.

Thank you so much! I have or will have all these listed in the for sale section if anyone is interested. I enjoy placing fine things in the hands of those who treasure them. I bought these books purely on their quality, not knowing anything about the titles, they're that nice. As I'm sure you all know. Thanks to everyone again!!
