A New Book For German Collectors

[CSM101]

Dear members,

 

a new book about "Japanische Schmiedekunst" or "Japanese Art Smithery" is new on the market.

 

Here you can find some Infos: http://rudolfdick.com/neues-buch-japanische-schmiedekunst/

 

And if you think I recommend this book just because a photo from my side found it´s way into the book then you are absolutely right!

 

On 25.05.2018 Dr. Rudolf Dick will hold a lecture in Munich, Movimento, Neuhauser Str. 15.

 

Hope to see you there.

Thanks for the info.

 

I read that: Erst 1000 Jahre später als in der westlichen Welt gelangte die Kunst der  Stahlverarbeitung auf das japanische Archipel..

 

Hmm, 600 before Chr.? I don't remember that the romans fight with steelswords in that period? The knowledge of iron is very old 3000 before chr. But the knowledge to forge steel for a sword is not so old i think. I dont speak about hunting weapons like spears and daggers from iron. How old are the oldest steel swords in europe?
