B617. Japanese Swords and Sword Furniture in the Museum of Fine Arts Boston by Morihiro Ogawa. 1987. Clothbound with dust jacket, 10 ¼ x 14 ¾”, 423 pages in English. Also included is a softbound Glossary, same size and also by Ogawa.
This is a beautiful book and a very good reference. The collection at the Boston Museum is important and this book shows it well. Great swords and impressive koshirae & kodogu; lots to love. Essays on the history and art of the sword are included as well. This book is included in the Index of Japanese Sword Literature on the JSS/US website; there is an index of its contents. I also have this book in Japanese at a lesser price; see C181.
