An amazing read. Incredibly detailed and fascinating. There is more information here than any documentary I have seen yet. The Japanese sword is far more than simple steel with fancy fittings, and this work explores its creation from forging to fitting the saya. Amazing insight into an amazing craft. Well worth reading by anyone interested in the traditions of Japanese sword arts.
This work also makes an excellent primer for collecting, explaining the different processes by which different grain patterns emerge, the creation and deeper prupose of the hamon (it is functional for more than just playing a role in the creation of the hard cutting edge), the overall shape and degree of curve in the blade and details a novice might not think of.
