Kind of a “multi yearbook” with the reprinting of the monthly magazine. Many armours and kabuto, tsuba, guns and even some western style armours. Fascinating.

Ōyamazumi Jinja contains the biggest collection of National Treasures armours. Over the years, they published several catalogs, this is an earlier version of such a catalog. Recent ones have better pictures.
Beautiful catalog that was published on the occasion of the exhibition Lords of the samurai – the legacy of a daimyo family, organized by the Asian Art Museum and the Eisei-Bunko Hosokawa Collection (Tokyo), in San Francisco, 2009. Besides the famous armors, also many other beautiful items from the collection are in the catalog.
Fabulous exhibition collection of one of the best armor collections outside of Japan. This catalog is from 2011, and as the collection itself (traveling all over the world) is still expanding, it is likely that many pieces of the now enlarged collection are not yet in the catalog.
