B994.  Kacho Kenran: Toso Ishiguro Ha no Sekai  The Ishiguro School of Japanese Sword Fittings Artists.  2016, The Japanese Sword Museum (NBTHK).  Hardbound with dust jacket, 8 1/2 x 11″, 95 pages in Japanese and English.  The Ishiguro School was active in late Edo, working in soft metal with themes of birds and flowers.  This beautiful book presents the 6 major members of the school and gives a couple pages to a family member who was a well respected painter.  At the tail end of the book is a section on the sandai Masayoshi, taken from historical documents.  Pretty much 100% of the text is given in both languages, which is great for those of us not up on our Japanese.

The book is new, mint condition.  1 pound, 5 ounces.  Now $60.
