B736. Nihonto Koza, 10 volumes in Japanese
$200.00
B736. Nihonto Koza Various authors. 1968. 10 hardbound volumes with slipcases, 6 1/2 x 10″, more than 3,500 pages in Japanese. This is the set that Harry Watson set out to translate. He got through 6 of the volumes; these 10 books are the complete set. You get volumes on Koto, Shinto, Shinshinto, Kodogu, Koshirae, and more. The layout of the books is different from that of the translation: illustrations are typically at the front of the book and text behind. The photos are more crisp (better detail) than those in the translation also. Most everything Nihonto is covered. A couple of the volumes have a list of plates in English.
I have also, at the moment, Harry Watson’s translation.
3 or 4 of the slipcases have split just a bit along an edge; 1 has split along 3 edges and needs to be taped. All of the books are in excellent condition. 30 pounds. Marked down to $200, a ridiculously low price.
