nagamaki - Franco Posted April 1, 2020 Report Posted April 1, 2020 Although posted before, people may now have the time to read this book. http://www.knifehelp.net/media/docs/Gunsaulus%20Helen%20Cowen%20-%20Japanese%20sword-mounts%20in%20the%20collections%20of%20Field%20Museum.pdf Stay well. 5 Quote
Blazeaglory Posted April 3, 2020 Report Posted April 3, 2020 Awesome! Starts out really good! So far in reading I've discovered something interesting, I mean, other than the topic the book is about. It reads really well and has pictures and diagrams to match. But here is something different below that I thought was pretty cool. The hilts are reminiscent of early Japanese blades https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_money Quote
nagamaki - Franco Posted April 4, 2020 Author Report Posted April 4, 2020 Hello, Dwain, you and others may find 'An Early Style of A Japanese Sword' A Search for The Origin of The Curve exhibition catalog of some interest. Mine came from Bob Benson originally. 2 Quote
Ganko Posted April 4, 2020 Report Posted April 4, 2020 That book 'A Search for The Origin of The Curve " is very good. Excellent images in it. 2 Quote
Blazeaglory Posted April 4, 2020 Report Posted April 4, 2020 I spent so many hours yesterday reading the book in Franco's original post that I delved into multiple different areas, mainly The Tale of the Heike and the first Shoguns of the Kamakura period. That book discusses early and many different Tosogu but at the same time talks about many other things! So today I guess I'm spending hours reading "The origin of the Curve"?? haha Thanks! 1 Quote
