THE NEW GENERATION OF JAPANESE SWORDSMITHS

Tsuchiko Tamio (2002)
Twenty notable gendaito smiths define what makes a „fine sword“ while describing their personal aspirations with regards to their art. This insightful work gives readers unrivalled access to first-hand information on sword making theory and process. A common theme throughout the text is „Restoration“. Here restoration refers to ongoing efforts to emulate classic koto period masterworks. Beyond biographies, Tsuchiko demonstrates an active community of artists as each smith is shown interacting with others; examples include polishers, patrons, and others.
In short, this book presents each smith’s understanding of Nihonto as realized thought a lifetime’s immersion in its study and creation. It is an essential text for all sincere students of the sword – of all periods.
