- catalog abstract ""This illustrated survey examines the development of the Japanese sword in an historical and social context from the eighth to the twentieth century." "The development of the sword from its origins as one of the world's most effective cutting weapons is seen in the context of the emergence and development of Japan's ruling military class, the samurai, to whom it was indispensable both as a weapon and symbol of power. The book also deals with the techniques used in the making of the Japanese sword and the associated terminology." "In addition to weapons from the V & A's own collections and unusual prints showing graphic depictions of swords in action, illustrations include comparative material from other museums such as Japan's Tokyo National Museum which has one of the best and most well documented collections of Japanese swords in the world."--Jacket.".
