Item description from seller

English text.; Hardcover (without dust jacket).; 16 x 25.5.; 0.8 kg.; 110 pages plus 108 illustrations (black and white and a few in colour).; Used with signs of wear on the exterior and interior. The dust jacket shows wear marks edge wear, scuffs and scratches on the front cover, spine and back cover. The bottom of the back cover has a tear at the middle and is wrinkled at the bottom. The outside text block shows some yellowing on top. Interior with minor signs of wear.; Although ever since the end of the last century collectors of Japanese swords and their fittings have been steadily on the increase in this country and America, no convenient comprehensive manual had been available until Mr Robinson produced The Arts of the Japanese Sword. The subject is a vast one, not least because the Japanese literature on it is so extensive, reaching back into the Middle Ages. When it appeared (in 1961), it was hailed as "a masterpiece of selective condensation. a first-class study of the Japanese sword and an absolute must to the library of all students and collectors in this field" (Apollo). The addition of four new colour plates and eight black and white in the new edition together with the replacement of a number of the existing plates with new ones, has added still further to its value. "any English reader who masters this book will learn as many facts about the Japanese sword as he is ever likely to want to know. [it] contains detailed information about the making of blades, and also about guards and other sword furniture; there is a highly technical chapter on how to judge a blade, another on the chief schools of Japanese sword- smiths, and lists of swordsmiths with their names in Japanese characters, and the schools to which they be- longed, along with a thousand other items of information about, for in- stance, care and cleaning, evolution of styles, year periods, nomenclature of parts and places of manufacture. For the specialist and collector the book will be found indispensable." Journal of the Royal Society of Arts.
