"On the pages of this website you will find 50 different styles of tsukamaki. The pictures are scans of photos from the library of The Japanese Sword Society of the United States. With kind permission from the JSS/USS and its librarian, Mr. Harry Watson, I was allowed to scan them and publish them here. I left the pictures as my scanner produced them. Some of the pictures are a bit dark, but with a graphics program, you could play around with the brightness and contrast to see more detail."

Interesting stuff.

I'm glade the Japanese didn't have access to tape back in those days.
