New Publication on tsuba and kinkô Artists

[Markus]

Hi everybody,

 

I want to inform you that my latest publication - in English this

time - is out now.

It is like the genealogies book of the swordsmiths but this time

it deals with the tsuba and tôsô-kinkô schools. Quoting from

the blurb:

 

"The aim of this publication is to make the genealogies of the Japanese

tsuba and tôsô-kinkô schools easily accessible to the reader, namely in

that they are complete and have been revised for the first time, in a single

book. The book contains 120 genealogies of all the major schools, divided up

into two sections: the tankô who worked in iron, and the tôsô-kinkô who

processed soft metal. For a better use of the genealogies, an extensive index

is added at the end of the book."

 

148 pages, A4, price 39,90 Euro

Just ordered mine. If this is as good and useful to me as the previous volume on swordsmith geneology it will be a very good addition to anyones reference library.

thank you Markus for your continued efforts

Best regards

Congrats and well done Markus. Looks like a great book, and definitely one that must be had.

Can we only order from those 2 links? I guess you are not selling directly?

Thank you Paul!

 

@Brian: I do not sell them directly, only in special cases if ordering does not work.

But please bear in mind that I can´t offer the "free shipping" as does amazon (at

least in the EU AFAIK).

 

Anyway, it was the first time that I added the supplement at Books on Demand which

guarantees an ordering from the US and UK. I hope this works but I don´t know when

it is available in the US. At least it shows up when looking for the book at amazon.co.uk.

 

So for all those who are interested in a copy and the ordering does not work via

the two links given above, please contact me (PM) and I will send one (PayPal is fine).

I received mine last week Markus and I forgot to mention it, I was intending to. It is a very easy to read book that required me to need my dictionary only about a couple of dozen times. :lol: Great for keeping all the kinko geneaologies in mind. Recommended as a good reference. John
