Hello:

 For those interested in the swords and armor of the Tokugawa by generation there is a book entitled: Tokugawa Fifteen Generations, Armor and Swords. (Toshogu Shrine and Museum, Showa 46, 126 pp). The armor is grouped by generation, moving from the severe to the more elaborate in later generations; the swords, mostly but not entirely top rated smiths, number 24 and as far as I can tell not necessarily linked to a Tokugawa generation as they would descend. There is a fair amount of supplementary text to boot. For the historically minded it would make for a great translation project.

 Check with Grey Doffin for possible copies.
