Description
The Japanese sword, a unique work of art in steel, can be appreciated from a number of viewpoints. Its functionality as a weapon, the sophisticated metallurgy and scientific thinking utilized by the swordsmith, the shape of the blade itself, and the different crystalline forms in the steel all contribute to the beauty of these remarkable weapons. The Art of the Japanese Sword conveys to readers basic background information on the Japanese sword, explaining ways to view and appreciate a blade and at the same time, showing details on how a sword is made and finished today. —- ISBN: 9784805312407 | ISBN10: 4805312408 | ISBN-13: 978-4805312407
