Summary: A MUST for your nihonto library!
Comment: Hey all!

This is definately a book for the library! If you're looking for a good resource on researching all those showa-to and Gendai-to then look no further! This book has everything you could want and more! No Oshigata, but tons of useful info about tang markings, hot stamps, showa blade characteristics, MFG. practice, and things you never even thought of! So, you think your "star stamped" Gendai is "traditionally made"? Think again! Buy this book and you'll see what I mean... Wonderful book that has already saved me $$$

Comment: Book lacked new information from their previous book. Not enough swords, too many interviews. What happened to the sword smith before WWII.
