About the Chart:

This detailed chart, titled Oriental Culture Chart #11: Japanese Swords, published in 1945 by W. M. Hawley, provides a comprehensive visual guide to the traditional Japanese sword, or katana, and its variants, reflecting a deep interest in Japanese craftsmanship during the post-World War II era. Measuring approximately 60 x 40 cm, the chart meticulously diagrams various sword types, including the Katana, Wakizashi, Aikuchi, and Naginata, each illustrated with precise measurements and labeled components such as the Yasuri-me (file marks), Nakago (tang), and Ha-machi (edge notch). The blades are depicted in black and white with fine linework, showing details like the Sori (curve), Mune (back), and Kuri-jiri (carved decoration), alongside cross-sections of blade shapes like Shinogi (ridge line) and Iori (tent-shaped).

Accompanying the illustrations are detailed sections on sword types, forging processes, and care instructions. The "Types of Swords" section lists traditional blades like the Tachi, Katana, and Tanto, with measurements in shaku (Japanese units), while the "Forging Processes" outlines five grades of steel and carbon content used in crafting. A "Care of Swords" guide advises on proper handling, warning against touching the blade with bare hands. Additional diagrams showcase fittings like the Tsuka (handle), Saya (scabbard), and Menuki (ornamental grips), alongside a list of famous Japanese swordsmiths from the 11th to 19th centuries, such as Masamune and Muramasa, with their production counts.

The chart’s monochromatic design, paired with its precise annotations and Japanese terminology like Katana (日本刀) and Tachi (太刀), reflects a blend of technical accuracy and cultural appreciation, aimed at educating Western audiences about Japanese sword-making traditions. Published in 1945, it captures the era’s fascination with Japanese culture following the war, serving as both an educational tool for collectors and a historical record of traditional craftsmanship. This chart stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of Japanese swordsmithing, presented with clarity and reverence for its artistry.
