Dr. Buck's work presents a general historical overview of the evolution of Japanese samurai swords and sword mounts, as well as step-by-step instructions and diagrams for 25 specific types of sword handle wrapping. It also includes a compact visual glossary of Japanese swords, general temper patterns and common signature characters. As a reference book, it is both an excellent introduction to the art of Tsukamaki, and a complete how-to guide for the beginner tsukamaki-shi, or sword handle wrapper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCondition: New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eItem# 9780984377954\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAuthorized Dealer\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lloyd \u0026 Tutle Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49553589403942,"sku":"9780984377954","price":37.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/1bcae8ba-3b5c-5bd1-bdcf-49cf652b2f70.jpg?v=1726619854","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/the-art-of-tsukamaki","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
