As the name suggest, this over sized book focuses on the kawari kabuto from the Sengoku era. Although it would off course have been nice to have multiple views of one helmet, the pictures are of a high quality and for example much better then the more famous Spectacular Helmets of Japan book. Fabulous book.
This volume is part of another beautiful series, this time about Japanese national treasures. Contains beautiful pictures, also about ceramics, textiles, offerings to shinto shrines.
