This large volume book on Japanese Armour is more an art book then a study book with the large and sometimes bold pictures. The black and white pictures have sometimes too much contrast to show all the details, but the fact that there are sometimes detailed pictures and views from different sides (mainly from famous armours) makes it interesting.
Limited to 700, and originally came in a big wooden box. It also exist with a red box... Beautiful book.
