[Baka Gaijin]

Here, from the National Diet Library Archive in Tokyo, are 17 e-makimono scrolls containing "Utsushi" of famous swords and sword fittings.

 

Written and drawn by 森, 久寛  - Mori Hisahiro (I think)

Date uncertain but Edo period.

Here, also from the National Diet Library Archive are 8 e-makimono scrolls entitled 刀劍寫眞 トウケン シャシン To Ken Shashin 

 

Again undated but Edo.

 

Interesting how shashin is being used to mean a likeness.
