Each craftsman has a different role in the manufacture of a blade. Yoshindo Yoshihara, the swordsmith, begins with raw steel made in a traditional charcoal-fueled smelter and refines it by folding and forging, gradually shaping it into a sword with a hardened edge. Okisato Fujishiro then sharpens and polishes the sword with fine stones to reveal the color and texture of the steel. Metalworker Hiroshi Miyajima makes the small copper-and-gold habaki collar that fits between the blade and the scabbard. Finally, Kazuyuki Takayama carves the hilt and the scabbard out of a single piece of wood. Black-and-white photographs show every stage of the manufacture, while important information on history, metallurgy, and modern-day appraisal is presented in an extensive introduction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe swords made in Japan today are not, of course, intended for actual use. But their design, the quality of their steel, and the techniques used to create them still derive from the sword's historical function as a lethal hand-held weapon. A sword must be razor sharp, light, well balanced, and strong, but not so brittle it will break. In the perfect resolution of these qualities lie the beauty of the blade and the challenge of the craft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis book demonstrates how brilliantly Japan's sword craftsmen today have met this technological challenge. The impulse of the craft now is to preserve the utilitarian object and yet create an enduring art for the modern age. While many fine books on sword appreciation exist, these deal primarily with older blades or problems of appraisal. The Craft of the Japanese Sword is the first book in English devoted entirely to contemporary sword manufacture, and will thus be of enormous value to metal artists everywhere, as well as to collectors and students of weaponry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVery good .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-08-03T09:22:44+01:00","created_at":"2020-08-03T09:22:43+01:00","vendor":"Steve","type":"Book","tags":["sword","weapons"],"price":3500,"price_min":3500,"price_max":3500,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":32699520024651,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"57","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"The Craft of the Japanese Sword","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":3500,"weight":800,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B60E3EB5-A248-4960-82C3-A4DDB9FFDC2C.jpg?v=1609069234","\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/15A7EA2D-1EBF-4CAB-8686-82F56350E8BE.jpg?v=1609069234","\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/F85C7BE2-2BE0-421C-9163-FF859E867032.jpg?v=1609069235"],"featured_image":"\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B60E3EB5-A248-4960-82C3-A4DDB9FFDC2C.jpg?v=1609069234","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"The Craft of the Japanese Sword - Yamazakura","id":7900168519755,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.836,"height":3464,"width":2897,"src":"\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B60E3EB5-A248-4960-82C3-A4DDB9FFDC2C.jpg?v=1609069234"},"aspect_ratio":0.836,"height":3464,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/B60E3EB5-A248-4960-82C3-A4DDB9FFDC2C.jpg?v=1609069234","width":2897},{"alt":"The Craft of the Japanese Sword - Yamazakura","id":7900168552523,"position":2,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.869,"height":3468,"width":3013,"src":"\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/15A7EA2D-1EBF-4CAB-8686-82F56350E8BE.jpg?v=1609069234"},"aspect_ratio":0.869,"height":3468,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/15A7EA2D-1EBF-4CAB-8686-82F56350E8BE.jpg?v=1609069234","width":3013},{"alt":"The Craft of the Japanese Sword - Yamazakura","id":7900168585291,"position":3,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.853,"height":3547,"width":3024,"src":"\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/F85C7BE2-2BE0-421C-9163-FF859E867032.jpg?v=1609069235"},"aspect_ratio":0.853,"height":3547,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/yamazakura.co.uk\/cdn\/shop\/products\/F85C7BE2-2BE0-421C-9163-FF859E867032.jpg?v=1609069235","width":3024}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWell over a thousand years old, the tradition of swordmaking in Japan is one of the most highly regarded metal crafts in the world.

Each craftsman has a different role in the manufacture of a blade. Yoshindo Yoshihara, the swordsmith, begins with raw steel made in a traditional charcoal-fueled smelter and refines it by folding and forging, gradually shaping it into a sword with a hardened edge. Okisato Fujishiro then sharpens and polishes the sword with fine stones to reveal the color and texture of the steel. Metalworker Hiroshi Miyajima makes the small copper-and-gold habaki collar that fits between the blade and the scabbard. Finally, Kazuyuki Takayama carves the hilt and the scabbard out of a single piece of wood. Black-and-white photographs show every stage of the manufacture, while important information on history, metallurgy, and modern-day appraisal is presented in an extensive introduction.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe swords made in Japan today are not, of course, intended for actual use. But their design, the quality of their steel, and the techniques used to create them still derive from the sword's historical function as a lethal hand-held weapon. A sword must be razor sharp, light, well balanced, and strong, but not so brittle it will break. In the perfect resolution of these qualities lie the beauty of the blade and the challenge of the craft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis book demonstrates how brilliantly Japan's sword craftsmen today have met this technological challenge. The impulse of the craft now is to preserve the utilitarian object and yet create an enduring art for the modern age. While many fine books on sword appreciation exist, these deal primarily with older blades or problems of appraisal. The Craft of the Japanese Sword is the first book in English devoted entirely to contemporary sword manufacture, and will thus be of enormous value to metal artists everywhere, as well as to collectors and students of weaponry.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eVery good .\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e"}

The Japanese Sword

{"id":4638818336843,"title":"The Japanese Sword","handle":"the-japanese-sword","description":"\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe Japanese Sword combines unbreakability, rigidity, and lethal cutting power, and it is in the resolution of these conflicting practical requirements that it emerges as a triumph of the forger's art. The mystique of the sword lingers on in or age of mechanized combat, but the aesthetic qualities for which swords are most valued by collectors today--the liveliness of the metal 'skin' the confidence in every aspect of the design, the scrolling temper-line, the almost buoyant lightness of the hilt when the blade is held in the hand-- all derive from what the Japanese sword demanded as a symbol of strength and as a weapon.
