Fabulous book with many selected pieces from the 8,000 pieces in the Osaka Castle collection. The book, published to celebrate the centennial of the incorporation of Osaka as a city, is as it should be: bi-lingual, full with beautiful pictures and nice explanations. Not only many armours, but also many other samurai items, battle screens (with details) etc.
