W. M. Hawley was one of these pioneers who opened up a lot of info to the West. He is famous for his "Japanese Swordsmiths", but he also made many other (and smaller) books.
This is one of them. 600 Japanese Sword Fittings Terms is one of several volumes that contain specific terms for a certain subset of Japanese arms, illustrated by mainly line drawings. The only regret is that the kanji are still all hand written. Otherwise fantastic resource.
