Synopsis Shinto & Shinshinto-kantei by : Markus Sesko

An unavoidable difficulty with books that deal with Japanese swords in general is that the workmanship of a smith has to be reduced to its most important characteristics which can be seen on the majority of his works. It is here that this work comes into play, with the motive to provide more concretely described reference examples. Unique is that - depending on the blade - former participant's kantei bids are also addressed. This means that one's own approach and attempt at attributing a blade may also be comprehended. With the 169 introduced shinto and shinshinto blades from altogether 13 provinces, this volume constitutes an extensive reference work. The order starts for shinto with Kyoto, Edo and Settsu, and for shinshinto with Edo.

Synopsis Shinto- & Shinshinto-kantei by : Giuliano Marchi

Eine nicht zu vermeidende Problematik bei allgemeineren Büchern über japanische Schwerter ist ja, dass die Arbeitsweise eines Schmiedes auf die wichtigsten, sich auf seinen meisten Klingen wiederzufindeden Merkmale reduziert werden muss. Hier setzt nun dieses Werk an, dessen Hintergedanke es war, mehr konkret beschriebene Referenzbeispiele bereitzustellen, die noch dazu im Sinne eines kantei, also einer Schwertbegutachtung, abgehandelt werden. Einzigartig ist hier, dass - je nach Klinge mehr oder weniger umfangreich - auch auf frühere Gebote von kantei-Teilnehmer eingangen wird, sprich eigene Ansätze bei der Zuordnung einer Klinge können so ebenfalls nachvollzogen werden. Mit 169 vorgestellten shinto- und shinshinto-Klingen aus insgesamt 13 Provinzen bietet dieser Band ein umfangreiches Referenzwerk. Die Reihung beginnt für shinto mit Kyoto, Edo und Settsu, und für shinshinto mit Edo.

Synopsis Koshirae - Japanese Sword Mountings by : Markus Sesko

With this publication I try to systematically and comprehensively process the subject of ,,Japanese sword mountings". It was not my goal to depict as many extant interpretations of sword mountings as possible but to deal with their different styles. With this publication the reader will be informed in which way the Japanese swords were mounted over time, the origins of the various styles, what changes they underwent and it will also serve as a reference material to classify extant specimen. In this sense the descriptions were embedded in an explanation of their historical context rather then listing them simply by their interpretation or in alphabetical order. As the main focus lies on ,,koshirae", explanations on the sword fittings - the tosogu - were omitted because their descriptions can be easily found elsewhere. Also, the military mountings - the gunto-koshirae - were left out because there are excellent publications available which deal with them in great detail.
