The New Generation of Japanese Swordsmiths

The New Generation of Japanese Swordsmiths, Tsuchiko’s book presents us with a vivid and deep insight into the lives and works of twenty sword-smiths. The book is a result of painstaking research. Mr. Tsuchiko himself visited each swordsmith and spent a great deal of time interviewing them on the subjects of sword forging techniques, their methods and aims. Their discussions were frank and open, providing some revealing insights into the art and some fascinating facts…a further accomplishment of this book is the uniqueness of the sword-smiths he introduces. I am convinced that this will be an invaluable book for anyone who is interested in sword forging.
