mecox Posted May 19 Report Posted May 19 HIZUKE NO HON Malcolm and Sueko Cox Printed 2007 (now updated copies) The aim of this book is to help reading Japanese dates on swords. It shows different systems, types of signature (mei), list of nengo with kanji, map of provinces, and explanation of zodiac date system. The book contains tables of dates from 1000 to 2028 (Reiwa 10), with nengo, western year, zodiac and other cycles. Ways of writing dates are summarised also key events of Japanese (sword) history. It has 26 full page of oshigata from 1186 to 1943, with mei and dates in Romaji and kanji. Book is soft cover, 29 x 20.5 cm, 75 pages in length. The book will be of particular use to new folk to the study, plus mature followers whose recall capacities are fading (I use it regularly!). Book is AUD20 with airmail to USA of AUD28 (total AUD48 approx. US$30). 3 Quote
