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.
