Microcosm Of The Japanese Sword Accessories

[Ford Hallam]

I came across this series of Kindle books on Amazon this morning and thought they might be of interest here. They're certailny not going to break the bank.

 

Photographer Ryota Mizukami has thus far produced 4 volumes of his planned series of 12.

 

This book is photography of KOZUKA. KOZUKA is one of the sword accessories. There is a knife to be mounted on the exterior of the sword. It is called a "kozuka" the handle portion of the knife.

Contents, will introduce the eight types of KOZUKA in one book in about 50 photos. I am planning to issue a total of 12 volumes. Era is from the 16th century to the 18th century.

The quality is very high, there are many things that feudal lords and generals had owned. All is a collection of one individual, is the article of unpublished in Japan.

Introduction of in this book is the first publication. It contains many things that researchers do not know.

 

 

Here's a link to volume one.

 

enjoy,

Thank you Ford!

I always feel a regret when books are made/written without care for the language and spelling. In this case the photography may be nice, but the English is horrible, at least what I could read in the sample.

Jean, happy to share :-) and you're absolutely right, the text is 'quaint' to say the least.
