Description from the seller

** Note**
Depending on your country or region of residence, additional charges such as customs duty may apply.
Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping charges.
these charges are the buyer's responsibility.
※Due to the deteriorating situation in the Middle East, we are unable to ship to certain countries. We appreciate your understanding.

Samonji, who forged swords based in Hakata, Chikuzen Province (Fukuoka Prefecture) from the late Kamakura period to the early Nanboku-chō period, has been known by that name since ancient times. This stems from his practice of inscribing the single character “左” (left), said to be an abbreviation of his name, Saemon Saburō, on his blades.
Numerous examples of such famed swords by Samonji are featured in this volume.
It's a hard-to-find book.
This is an essential volume for Japanese sword research! Be sure to get your hands on it!
