HAYNES AUCTION CATALOGS, Vols. 1 - 10 Robert Haynes et al
What the Compton auction catalogs are for swords, Haynes' catalogs spanning 1981-84 are for the field of tosogu...arguably more so. Presented are a broad range of fittings with many significant examples throughout the series, all with supporting documentation and commentary making for excellent reference. An added value to the series was the translation of Torigoye's Tsuba Geijutso Ko (1960). These individual issues are a tremendous opportunity for serious students of tosogu.

A set of all 10 Robert Haynes Auction Catalogs

SOLD

Robert Haynes is one of the most knowledgeable kodogu people on earth and he used these catalogs as a teaching tool. There are thousands of fittings lots arranged by school, and swords, armor, and woodblock prints and assorted fine art, and these lots are given a much more thorough description than you usually find in auction catalogs. The art being auctioned runs the spectrum from entry level to the very best, including some important collections. All pieces are illustrated, the descriptions are thorough, and prices realized for all of the catalogs are included.
An added value to the series was the translation of Dr. Torigoye's 'Tsuba Geijutso-Ko' (1960), discussing in detail the work of various artists and schools of tsuba art. In the later issues at the back there are lessons on woodblock print appreciation.
