Today, I received a illustrated booklet (a illustrated booklet supporting Chris' presentation).Title is [The Kato Smiths of Megro,Tokyo] (Prepared by Chris Bowen for the Japanese Sword Club-Midwest Lecture in Mineapolis,Minesota November 5, 2017).That's a very good reference book about Kato smiths. 1 Quote
