Spartancrest Posted August 25, 2022 Report Posted August 25, 2022 (edited) I just listed a reworked book on the tsuba from Tadamasa Hayashi's collection - Louvre Museum (1894) and his auction catalogue (1902) both originally in French. Translated now into English. The images are only in B&W and some are grainy due to their source, the orientation and sequence has been altered from the original so that images and information run parallel. The original timeline sequence is maintained but this might be disputed in some cases. [I don't like to alter someone else's work unless an obvious mistake is made.] The book is 86 pages and is not a scholarly piece merely an up-date of otherwise lost information and translated to give more people access. I expect it will become available from more distributors but so far it can be found on these sites. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/Tadamasa-Hayashi/dp/B0BB5QQ8X2/ref=sr_1_18? https://www.amazon.com.au/Tadamasa-Hayashi-Tsuba-Collection-1894/dp/B0BB5QQ8X2/ref=sr_1_1 https://www.amazon.com/Tadamasa-Hayashi-Tsuba-Collection-1894/dp/B0BB5QQ8X2/ref=sr_1_1 https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-tadamasa-hayashi-tsuba-collection-tadamasa-hayashi/1142031253 I make note that the Japanese Amazon site had the book listed yesterday for much more than it is today- It is also noted that the print on demand book is 'Temporarily out of stock' which is complete BS. I am not a fan of 'middlemen' playing games and 'ripping' people off, so anyone interested can PM me and I will see what the real cost can be reduced to. For those with money to burn you can grab the original French book also from Amazon but the $400+ price tag is a little stiff! Edited August 25, 2022 by Spartancrest new data 4 1 Quote
