B438.  Tsuba Meisaku Shu by Dr. Homma.  1952.  Clothbound with a plastic jacket, 8 1/2 x 12″, at least 300 pages in Japanese and English.  Nothing but the greatest tsuba, some in color, the majority in black & white, printed one side of the page only.  There is an introduction, a list of plates, and an examination of tsuba history, artists, and schools in English.  Each tsuba is described in English also.  This is a beautiful book.

I have also 2 other editions of this title; see B458 and B459.  The condition of this book is excellent, wonderful.  4 pounds, 1 ounce.  Was $250, now $200.
