B237.  Kingo no Katana.  1988.  Clothbound, 8 1/2 x 12″, 137 pages in Japanese.  Country smiths is what I was expecting (Kingo means country) but instead the book is full of some very well known big names (maybe Yoshioka Ichimonji instead of the more often included Fukuoka Ichimonji qualifies).  Whatever, quality black & white photography of some very fine swords, predominately Koto but with some from Shinto.  Condition is excellent.  1 pound, 14 ounces.  Was $145, now $75.
