Paul Martin's Latest Book Translation

[boydie4207]

Hi everyone I would like to share my review on the latest Japanese sword book from Yusuko Kubo translated by Paul Martin of the the Japanese sword it may be a beginners guide but as a novice collector this small handy sized book is a great asset to a Japanese sword enthusiast of any level it covers everything from Japanese sword history right through to how the forging process is done it has loads of detailed colour pictures and drawings and Japanese sword vocabulary it even goes as far as giving sword related phrases that are used still today and there meanings in the modern world! All in all it is a great book to take with you when viewing swords and when wanting to study on the road if travelling abroad etc its compact size means you can at least have something to refer too if not at home with your more detailed books or for the complete beginner a good first book for reference to begin your study of Japanese swords it's also a great price too for your copy contact Paul Martin at the Japanese sword Facebook page or website www.thejapanesesword.com
