This is volume 5 of the illustrated catalogs of the National Museum of Japanese History, completely dedicated to their weapons collection.
603 items are illustrated in color, ranging from muromachi haramaki do, katana till western style 19th century pistols.
Most pieces are Japanese, but not all. As there are many pieces, the pictures are rather small, but still nice. Beautiful book.
