I won this chart on ebay a while back for less than $20. I thought it would be a great way for me to practice translating kanji. While I have not started to do that, I thought I would go ahead and post it here. I thought some other members might find it interesting. I was told that it is from 1938 and lists all of the army swordsmiths. Is this true? I don't know. Anyway, I couldn't pass it up for the price. It is double-sided and measures 55x79 cm.

The heading at the top says that it is a listing of Shinto smiths but looking at the entries, there are shinshinto and gendai smiths listed as well. Most likely it was published in 1938 but it is not a list of purely gendai smiths.
