New book out now

[Markus]

Hi everybody,

 

I would like to give you notice of my latest publication.

"Genealogies and Schools of Japanese Swordsmiths"

 

It deals as the name implies with the genealogies of all of the major schools from kotô

to shinshintô, but I would like to quote the rear flap text:

 

My aim with this publication is to make the major genealogies of Japanese swordsmiths and their schools from the kotô to the shintô and shinshintô periods easily accessible to the Western reader, namely in that they are complete and have been revised for the first time, in a single book. The publication begins with a brief introduction to the history of Japanese sword literature.

 

Attached is a low-quality sample of one page (the other about 99 schools look quite similar

 

 

As for the details, it is paperback A4, has 124 pages, and the price is 34,90 Euro.

It can be ordered at amazon.com or at Books on Demand (bod.de).

Looks like a very handy book to have. It currently says product unavailable on Amazon UK but I presume they will be getting copies in at some point?

Yes, I think it should be fine in a couple of days.

Will this be available at Amazon.com (U.S.)?

[Markus]

I think it oversea orders should be fine (at least it works to Japan;). But if anybody

is interested and the ordering does not work, he can also get a copy from me personally

(to be paid via PayPal + shipping).

Received my copy last week, and have to say it is very well done, and contains a huge amount of research.

Well done Markus, another important addition to a Nihonto library!
