Anonymous [Richard Akehurst, Masamine Sumitani, Masayuki Nagare]

(Book #ID 96890)

Privately Produced 1959. 1959.

Hard back binding in original three-quarter nutmeg and quarter cream leather covers with symbolic quenching design to front and rear fore edges, gilt title to the spine with two small tools, front and rear covers tooled with four designs of tsuba and with contrasting Japanese Nioi-Giri paper edgings and deep burgundy red hand made Japanese end papers. 8vo. 8'' x 6''. Japanese swordsmithing is the labour-intensive bladesmithing process developed in Japan for forging traditionally made bladed weapons (nihonto) including katana, wakizashi, tanto, yari, naginata, nagamaki, tachi, uchigatana, nodachi, odachi, kodachi, and ya (arrow). Japanese sword blades were often forged with different profiles, different blade thicknesses, and varying amounts of grind. Wakizashi and tanto were not simply scaled-down katana; they were often forged without ridge (hira-zukuri) or other such forms which were very rare on katana. Contents: completely hand written in English using black fountain ink, [iv], red and black title page single motif in red from the front cover, 33 pages illustrated with 11 hand drawn monochrome illustrations, loosely inserted test pull swatch of light blue paper used for the front cover. In Fine condition. Member of the P.B.F.A.
