C209.  The 2 supplemental volumes of Tagane no Hana by Toshimo Mitsumura.  Clothbound tied binding with cardboard slipcases (the slipcases aren’t pictured but both are here).  The books are 12 x 15 3/4″, pages aren’t numbered but it looks like about 200 pages each volume in Japanese.  Tagane no Hana (Flower of the Chisel) was originally published in 1903.  This is one of 2 later editions,which was published as 4 volumes originally and then 2 supplemental volumes were added.  This sale is for the 2 supplemental volumes only.  Great tsuba and kodogu are pictured in black & white.  Each plate page is overlain with a translucent sheet and in one of these volumes, descriptions of the pieces are printed on this sheet.  If you’re lucky enough to have the 4 volume set, here is your chance to complete it.

The books are in excellent condition.  They are with a trusted consignor to my site and he will ship from the US.  All my usual guarantees apply.  18 pounds, 12 ounces.  $425.
