Nihonto no Bi

Hi all, I thought I would draw your attention to a new website that has been set up by Mal Cox and his wife Sueko who live here in Australia. Mal if you do not already know is the author of "Swords and Swordsmiths of Mino Province" and much of the information here is on Mino works with many oshigata provided.

 

There is also an extensive gallery of tsuba with support information, especially for Echizen Kinai, Yamashiro Tenpo and various ji-sukashi schools.

 

Have a look when you get a chance.

 

Cheers

Congratulations on a great site! This was a lot of work and I am sure that it will be of use to many. I personally am very thankful for the translation of the 'Tsuba no Bi' as it will helps me greatly.

Thank you again!

Great site Rich.

I have his book, and it covers a lot. This is definitely one to add to the links page this week.

 

Thanks,

Malcolm's book is a great reference I use frequently and it is a great resource site as well. He and Sueko deserve kudos. John
