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","brand":"Lloyd \u0026 Tutle Publishing, Limited","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45502657101975,"sku":"9780984377954","price":3224.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780984377954.webp?v=1767453488","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-art-of-tsukamaki-9780984377954","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
