B1044.  Choshu no Tsuba by Murakami Kosuke, translated by Markus Sesko.  Undated.  Softbound, 8 1/2 x 11″, 110 pages in English.  This translation was made recently and was available by subscription only; copies are limited.  The 1st 31 pages present the different family groups active in the school (see my picture from the table of contents), the middle 58 pages are black & white pictures of tsuba, and the end of the book is an extensive list of artists, with dates and signatures.  I have also the original book in Japanese; see B639.  This is the 1st time I’ve had this title; copies don’t come available often.

Like new condition.  12 ounces.  $80.
