On Amazon, one of the related books listed is "Modern Japanese Swords and
Swordsmiths". Does anyone have a copy of this book? I'd like to know if there
is any discussion about Satsuma swords in 1877?

Only if you consider 1877 "modern."

It's about PRESENT DAY swordsmiths and the various people
whose work goes into making a sword.

Great book, but not a historical reference source.

The description of the books says that it covers the period of 1868 up to the
present day. That's why I asked about Satsuma swords in 1877.

Bob et al-
A recent exhibition catalog (Satsuma Koshirae) shows a number of
the better examples of Satsuma style koshirae. Satsuma no Katana to
Tsuba by Fukunaga Suiken focuses on the Shinto Period, Motohira and
Motonao, and of course the few tsuba makers that worked there.
Rebellion swords as they are known, from the period just after the
restoration are typified by their low quality both in their fittings
and the blade. The catalog mentioned above may contain the best of
the exceptions, but in general they are not well regarded and
therefore there is little available in English or Japanese about them.
-t

Do you know where I can get a copy of the exhibition catalog?

Sorry to hijack the discussion a little. If ValdeK Laur and Mr. Paul
Martin reads this topic I would like an E-mail from them to recover
their E-mail address after my PC crash (tsubame1@...). Sorry but I
know they are interested in swords and likely they'll read these lines.
Return in lurking mode...
