Contact Koshoyama

[Stephen]

Wanting to start back buying books that I once owned, has anyone been in contact with Koshoyama lately?

Seen a very good price on a book but they do not respond. Anyone in Nippon care to call for me? Id be very grateful and in your servitude for a limited time lol. PM me with info.

Hi Stephen,

 

Had the same problem a while ago - sent them various mails for a book and never got a reply. Eventually found it cheaper somewhere else in Nippon (http://www.genkido.jp/ in my case)

i bought a book from them a couple of weeks ago. emailed an inquire, they sent an email with total price with shipping and said i could use Paypal. I paid, got the book a week later.

Hi,

Attention:

Because the revised version was published in the same year(1971), you should buy the revised version(attached photo).

So you must confirm this when you buy the book.

 

see 1082 and 7401

Hi Stephen,

 

I think Morita-san means these two :

 

1082 現代刀工銘鑑 少ｲﾀﾐ　　 　　　　　　大野正 光芸出版 昭46 \3,150

7401 現代刀工銘鑑 　　　　　　　　　 　大野正 光芸出版 昭46 \5,250

[Stephen]

Ok ? are they on the page i linked?

[DirkO]

Yepz, just look for the nrs 1082 - 7401

[Stephen]

the sky has parted and a response from Yamamoto sama sending me the book in question for 5500Y. Im a happy camper. Hai Domo to all that helped!

[k morita]

Congratulations. :D

[DirkO]

Yes congrats are in order. I think it's very rewarding to find books well below the going price !

Hi, Zanshin san,

 

Many of used bookstores in Japan do not accept shipping to foreign countries.(?) ...I think.

What book did you E-mail to the shop(genkido)? :D

Hi Morita-san,

 

I bought 昭和大名刀図譜 They were very helpfull and also willing to ship it to Europe. Even with shipping this set was very cheap compared to some nihonto bookstores.

Hi, Zanshin san,

 

Wow! It is the big photo-books on the highest class swords by Mr.Honma Junji(Kunzan).

Very nice!!
