A very nice exhibition catalog with as topics kawari kabuto and jinbaori. Many pictures, minimal text. Too bad that not all pictures are in color.
Nice exhibition catalog with some very beautiful, late edo display armours. Also some other beautiful samurai related items in very good conditions like utsubo, jinbaori etc.
Very thin catalog for an exhibition in 2005. Some of the armour is quite famous and is also displayed in other catalogs, some are unique to this catalog. Although the catalog is thin and not groundbreaking, a very good effort was made to place the pieces chronologically.
This is a really nice catalog from an exhibition that was organized by members of the Japanese Armour Society in 2012. Rather unique is that several pictures are shown per armour.
