B764.  Toso Soran by Torigoye Kazutaro.  1978.  Hardbound with slipcase, 8 ½ x 12”, 308 pages in Japanese and English.  From a limited edition.  This is the companion volume to Torigoye’s Tsuba Kanshoki (which I have also) and a very desirable reference.  Hundreds of great pieces of kodogu are shown in crisp black & white photos and described in Japanese and English.

A former owner’s name and stamp are inside the cover. The slipcase is a bit dinged (nothing remotely serious); the book is in excellent condition. There is also a copy in great condition with a trusted consignor in Japan. If post will be less expensive from Japan for you you’ll get that copy. 4 pounds, 10 ounces.  Now $95.
