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.

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.
