The Samurai Sword; A Handbook, by John M. Yumoto.

Published by Tuttle Publishing, Boston. Printed in Singapore. First published by Tuttle in 1958. The printer's number line appears to indicate that this the 4th printing and appears to date to Showa 39 (1964), however the book appears newer than that date, and we think that the ISBN number relates to 1989. This book is a facsimile reprint of the 1958 edition.

Text is bright and clean throughout. Looks unread. Soundly bound. Illustrated.
