Brian Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 All, Not sure if this one has been posted before, but I found it while browsing. It is a very nice exhibition page by Dean S. Hartley, Jr from 1964 and has a good section on the various tsuba schools with some pictorial displays of each school. A good section on swords too. A lot of good info in there, and well worth a visit. Link is here Brian Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 7, 2008 Report Posted June 7, 2008 Great link, Brian. Looks like some good stuff in there. Quote
Brian Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Posted June 7, 2008 There are also some other good articles on the main page: http://home.comcast.net/~colhartley/index.html I particularly enjoyed the one on watching retempering. It shows that there are levels at which this is done that would be extremely difficult to detect. There are articles for everyone including the armour guys. Brian Edit: Did anyone pick up the comment on the one article where he writes: ...and an even briefer visit to a small shop in Zushi, where they had for sale a certified dolmen sword with Tsuba (no saya or mounts) - for about Y36,000 ($100)... Aahhh...the good old days. $100 for a dolmen sword..and it was worth 36K yen! :D Quote
