Old magazine with a nicely illustrated overview of 100 important players from the Sengoku period. Many such magazines exists (modern ones have better pictures of course).

This fabulous book set is actually a 1981 reprint of two books, one from 1941 and one from 1944 (B0262), completely dedicated to the old, pre-Heian, armours of Japan. It includes also study reproductions. Masao Suenaga is one of the handful armour researchers that people still talk about with a lot of respect. The book set was originally sold for 145,000 yen…
