Yoshindo Yoshihara

He's on facebook: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=51427099064

Maybe he tweets, too!

It would be cool to talk directly with him.

I have his book, "The Craft Of The Japanese Sword", cowritten with Leon & Hiroko Kapp published by Kodansha International in 1987. He takes you through his sword making process from the production of Tamahagane to finish polishing ( shiagemigaki). Great pictures.
The man is a real master and I would dearly love to own one of his pieces. Or more.
But they ain't cheap.
 
Should we move this to the Sword Discussion forum?
I will leave it here if you prefer.
 
leon kapp is also involved in the book. i think mr. yoshiharas english is not so good so mr kapp does the translations i think
