B898. Auction catalog from Shinwa Art Auction, October 26, 2013. Softbound, 8 1/4 x 11 3/4″, maybe 70 or 80 pages in Japanese and English. Normally I don’t sell auction catalogs; normally they aren’t very useful references. This one, however, is packed with important items, including 8 Juyo Bijutsuhin swords, other swords (some with Juyo paper), koshirae, and armor. The listings for the swords give you much more information about them than is common for auction catalogs and all ijclude photos and full length oshigata.

Condition is excellent. 1 pound. $25.
