Very nice museum catalog from the Sendai City Museum with armours, guns, swords, battle flags, abumi, kura etc. A newer edition was printed in 2006 that is full color.
Very nicely balanced catalog about the Takeda clan: armours, documents, paintings, swords etc. Included is also a dō that is made out of bamboo, said from the sengoku jidai.
This can be considered the ‘very light’ version of the catalog for the fabulous exhibition held in Paris in 2011 (and later in many places in the world) of the Barbier-Mueller collection. The big catalog is a must have.

Very nice catalog of an exhibition held in 2006 in the famous Sano Museum. A very nice selection of kawari kabuto, some armours, few sōmen and also a great selection of Goto Tōsōgu.
Catalog that is for armour enthousiasts very interesting because it includes a partial (?) color reproduction (but in small size) of a document by Myōchin Muneakira with design drawings of an armour he made/was going to make…
