Looking for books about collections assembled by Gaijin


Recommended Posts

Specifically how, where and for how much the swords were acquired.

 

I'm sure there was quite a bit of coersion used in assembling the great (and good) collections during the Showa period and I would like to study the pressure used to "shake loose" all the Juyo blades donated by the philanthropists to museums worldwide.

 

Any books on the subject or is the mutual shame too great?
