B567.  Yari Naginata Nyumon by Iida Kazuo.  1973.  Hardbound with dust jacket and plastic jacket, 6 x 8 1/2″, 194 pages in Japanese.  I find it surprising how little has been written about Japanese polearms; trying to think of another book on the subject and I can’t.  This book is quite thorough, showing with photos, drawings, and oshigata all of the forms I’ve ever seen and a few I haven’t.  The photos are crisp, good for detail.

The jacket is different from the one in my photo and it is a bit rubbed; the book is in excellent condition.  1 pound, 4 ounces.  $95.
