vajo Posted March 28, 2018 Report Posted March 28, 2018 Hello Markus That will be a very important book for the community. I hope the issues with pictures will be solved. Maybe that book could be interested for one of the high quality print publisher like the Dawson book? Quote
LakeBum Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 Just seeing if anyone has heard how the progress of the book was going? 1 Quote
vajo Posted October 1, 2018 Report Posted October 1, 2018 Jason, i think Markus is working further on it. That book will be a big task. So many smith, so many swords. I need it too. Quote
LakeBum Posted October 2, 2018 Report Posted October 2, 2018 Ok, just checking if he mentioned it on his website and I missed it. Thanks Chris! Quote
Daniel Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 Hope for a realese anytime soon... Quote
Markus Posted March 1, 2019 Author Report Posted March 1, 2019 Hi Daniel, I am still trying to find more info on some of the obscure smiths and then have to go through final editing/layout but work has not stopped. Hope to get it out soon as well. 12 Quote
LakeBum Posted March 9, 2019 Report Posted March 9, 2019 So darn excited to hear the book is still moving forward. Thanks for all your hard work! Quote
Daniel Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 Any news? Now would be a good time reading a book. 1 Quote
Ganko Posted April 20, 2020 Report Posted April 20, 2020 We are all patiently waiting, knowing that Markus will do an exemplary job on it. Quote

vajo Posted May 12, 2020 Report Posted May 12, 2020 I hope for names, mei and examples. It would be nice to have the schools, forgeries and smiths in it. Maybe some tales and stories would be fine too for example from the genyosha. So much room for wishes ???? Quote
Brian Posted March 30, 2021 Report Posted March 30, 2021 @Markus Just wondering if there is any update on this project? Gendaito interest seems to be soaring and this would be a great time to launch a project like this. Hopefully progress is continuing? 4 Quote
IJASWORDS Posted March 31, 2021 Report Posted March 31, 2021 Have to agree with Brian on the interest front, plus many of us contributed big bucks to the project, and I think we are owed at least a progress report. 2 2 Quote
Kiipu Posted April 21, 2021 Report Posted April 21, 2021 I would like to see a separate volume covering the time-frame of the 廃刀令 [Haitō Edict] to the end of the 大正 [Taishō] era (or possibly to the founding of 日本刀鍛錬会 at Yasukuni]. It was these craftsmen after all that kept the art alive and made the rapid expansion of sword production possible that occurred after 1934. I for one would rather not see some of this material left out of the book and hence the suggestion for a separate volume. 2 Quote
