Japanese Sword Mounts

Japanese Sword Mounts in the Collections of Field Museum
By Helen Gunsaulus

Assistant Curator of Japanese EthnologyAn excellent publication for the study of Tsuba.  Gives in depth information of the varies schools of sword guard making and their relation to Japanese history.  I especially like the section on Satsuma Kinai works.A must have for the English Speaking Tsuba Collector.

The value of this book is in the research, not the photography.

Very Good Condition.  Has leaf bent cover, as shown, that does not effect the books utility.

Price: $70
