Nice small size but thick book is quite unique. It contains only research about armour kozane with many measurements, diagrams and pictures. A work of love. The writer is a member of the society, and the text was checked by famous armour researcher Motoo Yamagishi, who wrote himself the seminal works on old style Japanese armours.
This is one volume of a magnificent 13 volume set (12 normal volumes + 1 extra volume) that contains the National Treasures and Important Cultural Properties of Japan at the moment of the publication. This volumes contains, among many other things, armours. One could only wish for a full color one and one with bigger pictures.
