Christian Tsuba

[Martin]

Hi all,

 

I want to learn more about Christian motives in Tsuba and heard that there was an article ("Tsuba and the Hidden Cross" by Millard J. Holbrook II) on this topic in volume 24 no.5 Sept.-Oct. 1992 issue of the Japanese Sword Society of the United States, Inc. Newsletter.

 

Does anyone have this article in a digitalized version or can share some information on this subject?

 

kind regards,

[Thierry BERNARD]
