B459.  Tsuba Meisaku Shu by Dr.s Homma and Sato.  1963.  Clothbound with slipcase, 8 ½ x 11 ½”, 317 pages in Japanese and all 317 illustrated tsuba are described in English also.  I have 2 earlier editions of this book.  See B458 for 159 loose plates in a slipcase: all great tsuba.  Or have a look at B438 for a 1952 edition that’s special.  Great tsuba shown in crisp black & white photos and described.

There are a few insignificant scuffs on the slipcase; otherwise condition is excellent.  4 pounds.  Was $200, now $150.
