"The katana"

Discover over the beautifully illustrated pages the history, anatomy and all the secrets of the Japanese sword.

"The katana has become the symbol of the samurai, however, beyond the myth, it represents the most effective cutting weapon, but also a work of art. His name is known to all, but beyond that, it often remains unrecognized as soon as we delve into the subject. The history, anatomy and terminology of the katana are presented successively. In a third part, the author tried to answer all the questions that one can be likely to ask oneself as a collector or practitioner of martial arts.

Finally, the last part deals exhaustively with the manufacture of the katana, from the extraction of the ore to the final tests of the blade."
