Includes a loose Japanese text page at the end which doesn't belong to the book.; Catalogue from an exhibition held at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston from October 17, 1888 - January 15, 1989.; "In 1982, the Museum of Fine Arts celebrated the reopening of its newly reinstalled Asiatic wing with a spectacular exhibition of the works of the so-called Living National Treasures of Japan. In November of that year, one of the Living National Treasures, the most famous, most honored and highly acclaimed swordsmith in Japan, Sadaichi Gassan, came to Boston and, in a specially constructed foundry in a courtyard of the Museum, demonstrated with his son Sadatoshi and three of his other students - the traditional ritual and method of swordmaking. Swordsmithing, like all traditional Japanese crafts, requires superior skill, vast experience, and enormous patience. A great Japanese sword, often the most highly prized household treasure in a Japanese family, is gradually formed of some 30,000 layers of iron. Gassan is a fourth generation swordsmith, though his technique can be traced back to the 13th century. One of the swords begun by Gassan in Boston in 1982 was taken back to Nara to be finished. It has been completed only now, six years later, and is one of Gassan's masterpieces. To our great delight, Master Gassan has donated to the Museum this great sword as well as a beautiful sword by his son, Sadatoshi, and also a dagger by his father, completing the Museum's holdings of the Gassan school. To say that the Museum of Fine Arts, holder of the largest Japanese sword collection outside Japan, welcomes these superlative gifts is an under-statement. The present exhibition, which places these swords in the context of the Gassan School, commemorates the donations and the immense contribution of Sadaichi Gassan to our Museum. In anticipation of this exhibition, five of the other swords in the show were sent to Japan to be expertly polished during the past year. This procedure was made possible by the Morihiro Ogawa Fund, in memory of Dr. Kanzan Sato. This exhibition and catalogue are the result of the expertise of Morihiro Ogawa, Fellow for Research in Japanese Arms and Armor at the MFA, and the curator in charge of the 1982 exhibition, Living National Treasures.". foreword by Alan Shestack, director of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.…

Hardcover. Condición: New. Samurai arms and equipment are widely recognized as masterpieces in steel, silk, and lacquer. This extensively illustrated volume is published in conjunction with the first comprehensive exhibition devoted to the arts of the samurai. It includes the finest examples of swordsâ"the spirit of the samuraiâ"as well as sword mountings and fittings, armor and helmets, saddles, banners, and paintings. The objects in the catalogue, drawn entirely from public and private collections in Japan, feature more than 100 officially designated national treasures and important cultural properties. Dating from the 5th to the 19th century, these majestic works offer a complete picture of samurai culture and its unique blend of the martial and the refined. Many of the greatest Japanese blade makers are represented in this volume, from the earliest koto ("old sword") masters such as Yasuie (12th century) and Tomomitsu (14th century) to the Edo-period smiths Nagasone Kotetsu and Kiyomaro. These blades, cherished as much for their beauty as for their cutting effectiveness, were equipped with elaborate hilts and scabbards prized for their exquisite craftsmanship and materials, including silk, rayskin, gold, lacquer, and alloys unique to Japan, such as shakudo and shibuichi. Japanese armor is also fully surveyed, from the rarest iron armor of the Kofun period (5th century) to the inventive ceremonial helmets made toward the end of the age of the samurai.…
