If you are Gendaito collector or interested in WWII Japanese swords, do not miss this chance to get this book. It was published in 1942 during the WWII and one of the rarest books about showa smiths. This book is the only book showing many unknown swordsmiths at that time with their photos, blade characteristics, and smith histories. This book has the information about 400 Gunto smiths and manifacture companies in Japan and East Asia during the WWII. It had been out of print and recently only 40 copies were reprinted privately in Japan to be distributed for Western collectors. It has a good hard cover, about 320 pages, 8.5" X 12" size, and contains many valueable photos as well as oshigata. Limited time offers and shipping cost is $25 worldwide.
