B1075.  Nobule Tsuba. Clothbound with slipcase, 14 1/2 x 10 1/2″, 63 pages in Japanese. Of the 3 or so books I’ve had on Nobuiye, this is by far the most difficult to find; copies are rarely offered for sale. Crisp pictures of great art; Nobuie was argueably the most important tsuba smith in Japanese history.

Condition is excellent. 2 pounds, 9 ounces. $275.
