About this product

Product Information

First published in 1913, this book contains a fascinating treatise on Japanese swords, in particular the 'katana', 'wakizashi', and 'tachi'. It includes interesting historical information, detailed descriptions, a discussion of notable sword smiths and warriors, details on manufacture, and much more. "Japanese Swords" is highly recommended for those with an interest in Japanese history and culture, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on fencing.

Shipping was fast but no tracking and worst packaging ever.. like the box came banged up... send a question to seller never had a reply 😅.... Good product overall, excellent price, fast shipping, wrapped only on 4 sides out of 6, no tracking and never reply... 4★ product / 2★ seller ✌️

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • If you are looking for something comprehensive, this isn't it. However, it packs a lot in for a 1913 snap shot!

    It is a very slim volume, really more of a sales pamphlet for a sword seller, but dating from 1913! However, it has a wonderful brief introduction to the whole field of Japanese samurai swords, that is pretty accurate, and is an especially great synopsis for beginners to the field. It also has the pictures and technical descriptions to a large number of blades in the collection that is great food for study to the more advanced students. It is a great little volume to take on the plane, as I did, before giving it to my father for his birthday, along with a lovely Yamashiro sunobi tanto dated about 1460. Don't expect a thick treatise, but, I really didn't have great hopes for this purchase, and found myself pleasantly surprised.
