Very nice catalog written by Ian Bottomley at the occasion of the exhibition “Shogun: The Life of Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu”, held at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, in collaboration with Nikko Toshogu Shrine in 2005. Lavishly illustrated with Tokugawa related armours, documents, fold out screen reproductions, and many other items.
Very nice publication by Richard Béliveau, written at the occasion of the exhibition “Samurai – The Prestigious Collection of Richard Béliveau”, lavishly illustrated with pieces from his collection. Very nice photography.

Small booklet published by W. M. Hawley with some reproductions from Ichiyusai Kuniyoshi’s Ehon Toyotomi Kunkoki. The booklet focusses on some samurai portraits from this famous series, but Hawley published a bigger book with about 600 reproductions.
Nice book that was published during the process of creating the exhibition “Samurai – A Thousand Years of Cults in Culture” in Malmö in 2004. Although the book is more focussed on the Samurai culture as a whole, it is interesting from an armour perspective as some armours from the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, Kunstkamera (St. Petersburg) are in here.
Very nice book that was published at the occasion of an exhibition in 2012 in the Frazier History Museum. Several very nice kabuto and armours (and many other samurai related items). Nice photography.
