The Japanese toso-kinko Schools

By Markus Sesko

This book deals systematically, for the first time in English, with all the Japanese t?s?-kink? schools and sorted by their production sites such as Ky?to, Edo, Mito, Higo and the like. Comprehensive cross references are given for the origins of the individual schools and the master-student relationship(s) of the individual artists, supported by genealogies for the larger schools. In addition, a detailed introduction of the historical context of the Japanese t?s?-kink?, the manufacturers of sword fittings, is given at the beginning. Also added is an extensive index containing all the names, first names and pseudonyms of the artists introduced in this publication.
