Japanese swordsmith book: "Japanese Swordsmiths Revised", by Hawley.
If you are a Western nihonto collector, you are probably familiar with this book. This is THE BOOK that everyone must have.
Over 30,000 swordsmiths listed in English, with both kanji and Romanized names and signature examples, plus other basic facts.
Hawley compiled this book based on info in major Japanese books such as Nihonto Meikan.
Some entries include a page-number reference to famous Japanese-language books such as Fujishiro and Tokuno.
Condition is Very Good. No pages are loose. There are a few pages where I made notes or corrections in the margin.
One of the pictures shows the creases in the spine, because I HAVE used this book many times over the years.
I have been a Nihonto collector since 1982, but I am no longer active, and it's time to down-size some things before I retire.
Sold as-is (but the condition is Very Good).
Thanks for looking!
