Hi Tom,

 

the authors are Masayuki Murata and Michiko Hirota! The book is about the collection of the Kiyomizu Sannenzaka Museum.

Noooo...

 

Why didn´t you tell me before I decided to fill in the wrong fuel into my car´s tank !? Now all my money has been spent on the repair and I can´t pay that bargain price for the Higo set

Hmmm ... maybe I could sell the car ...   Does anybody need an old Mazda 323? 

 

If that Higo set should not sell quickly, I´d be very interested!!!

 

Best,

Tom

The Yamanaka letters are an excellent reference, especially for new sword aficionados.

Thank you, Ken and Tom!

 

As there seems to be some confusion about the Yamanaka Newsletters, I have attached a picture of the volumes. Sorry about the quality, but I do not have my camera at hand. Regarding the other books, there is (at least to my knowledge) only one edition. And yes, I am selling the Higo volumes (limited edition of 500 copies) plus translations way below the original retail price.

 

Best,

Higo volumes are SOLD.

Yamanaka volumes are SOLD.

Please find below pictures of the remaining four books. I will give a 10% discount on these (valid until the end of the week)!

 

It is really hard to find the 1931 volumes by Hara Shinkichi which contain the high-quality collection of the Hamburg Kunst und Gewerbe Museum. Plus, I have also included the 1902 Hamburg booklet.

Book arrived today - well packed - as-new condition. All in all a very smooth and enjoyable transaction. I'd recommend dealing with him any day!

[Higo-san]

Thank you, Dirk. I am glad to hear that!
