This classic reference is a translation of many different early Japanese writings on the sword. The primary work is a translation of Arai Hakuseki's Honcho Gunkiko - volume eight on swords; both the author and this collection were highly regarded. Joly expands on this important reference, adding additional articles and illustrations. Also included are The Book of Samé and substantial appendices covering a broad range of interesting topics and information.
