Description: Offered by Over The Blue Horizon and recently obtained in Tokyo is a MINT, BRAND-NEW copy of “THE JAPANESE SWORD” by Kazuhiko Inada. To describe this book as beautiful would be a gross understatement – it is truly one of the most beautiful books ever published on the Japanese sword. Subtitled “JAPANESE SWORDS REPRODUCED IN THEIR ORIGINAL SIZE, 45 SWORDS & 35 SWORD FITTINGS, JAPANESE SWORD TERMINOLOGY”, this stunning reference work presents stunning fold-out photography accompanied by authoritative text featuring masterpieces forged by Japanese artisans. Ten ancient Japanese swords from museum collections selected for their historic significance are reproduced on double pages with gatefolds and even more Japanese swords plus thirty-five accessories and handles are also presented. Just view the accompanying scans and realize they do not do justice for the visual impact this book delivers. Text is in perfect English and Japanese -- yet another reason to purchase and appreciate this superb publication. We purchased this book NEW in Tokyo and it was shrink-wrapped as can be seen in one of the accompanying photographs. We unwrapped it to ensure its condition was pristine and it was. This 259 page, 10 x 9.75 inch softcover with dustjacket was published by Gakken in 2015, and it comes with a beautiful slipcover which is also MINT/BRAND NEW.
