Fuuten Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Hi, I'm relatively new to the subject of nihonto. I own a good copy of the Shinshinto taikan (single volume, it includes a sword i'm soon to own!), and i found the .zip file with book indexes (stored somewhere on this server). But that one does not include the single volume index, only for both volumes, and all the plates & pages are different. Any chance anyone here stumbled on the same problem some time? Quote
leo Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 I did, Axel and someone sent me a few scanned typewriter pages. I did a .pdf file but as I did not make this index, I am not sure whether it is complete. Maybe it is of use to you and others. Cheers, Martin Shinshinto Taikan Index 6P.pdf 1 Quote
Grey Doffin Posted May 13, 2014 Report Posted May 13, 2014 Hi Axel, It would be a great learning experience for you if you were to make the index yourself. At the end of the project you would know a lot more of the Kanji in sword signatures and you'd have looked closely at a lot of very good blades. Grey Quote
Fuuten Posted May 13, 2014 Author Report Posted May 13, 2014 Martin thank you for sharing that. I'll see what i can do with it. Grey thank you for the advice, Though I'm interested and willing to learn more kanji, most of the advanced ones are outside my reach at this moment. Hiragana/katakana are OK and really recognizable. Most others would need references for me to place them together. Though i agree, doing something like that, even for 1 page will teach you a lot. Perhaps I'll do so later when i have the time . Quote
Grey Doffin Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Hi guys, I have found an index for the single volume Shinshinto taikan. I will gladly scan and email to Axel (do I have your email?) but if there is someplace here where I can post it let me know where. Grey Quote
Brian Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Grey, Send it to me and I'll add it to the archive file. Brian Quote
Grey Doffin Posted May 14, 2014 Report Posted May 14, 2014 Brian, Glad to send it to you but I can't attach it to a PM. Send me an email and I'll reply. Grey grey@japaneseswordbooksandtsuba.com Quote
Fuuten Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Posted May 15, 2014 That's good to hear! I'll reload the zip file with all indexes for the single volume sheet. Thank you for sharing! Quote
