BIG Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 Hi all, looking for sources, only find the JSSUS http://www.jssus.org/yasakunito.pdf Best Regards Quote
Dr Fox Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 My library book on this subject is: The Yasukuni Swords. Rare weapons of Japan 1933-1945. I have seen the JSSUS you reference, and found it inferior to the book above. Quote
Loki Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 Hi, there is some info on Jinsoo Kims website, http://www.jp-sword.com/ if you click on "special research" and then select "Yasukuni Blades" from the top of the page. Might not add much to the info in the book. Quote
BIG Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks Denis and Phill, Looking for articles, Blogs, pdf's etc. Best Regards Quote
cabowen Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 Tom Kishida's books are far and away the definitive sources of information on the Yasukuni Tenrankai. There are some other, earlier articles, such as the one done by Fujishiro Okisato but they don't tell you anything that isn't in Kishida san's book. I believe there are two or three versions of his book... Quote
b.hennick Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 Hello: The JSSUS used to give the book and translations to new members. We have run out of the translations and so I posted a PDF of the translation. The book is still available for sale. Copies will be available at the Tampa sword show. Quote
Grey Doffin Posted January 31, 2015 Report Posted January 31, 2015 Actually, copies won't be available at the Tampa show. Harry Watson, who sells our books, won't be attending. He will be at the San Francisco show and possibly Chicago. If he's at a show you can get the book free for joining the JSS/US. Grey Quote
BIG Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks Chris and Grey, and Special thanks Barry for that PDF. Best Regards Quote
Brian Posted February 6, 2015 Report Posted February 6, 2015 This is the article mentioned above from Jinsoo Kim's site: http://www.jp-sword.com/files/yasukuni/yasukunito.html Brian Quote
