Nice general samurai overview book with several armors, re-enactors and drawings. The picture on the cover is rather famous as it illustrates that by the time that photography became available, many ‘samurai’ did not know anymore how to put on an armor properly. The sode are reversed…
This is one of the several books that Stephen R. Turnbull has written about Samurai. This one is a very broad one, and in that sense gives a good overview. Only a few armors ate in the book, but many paintings etc.
