Superb catalog for what must have been an amazing exhibition in the National Gallery of Art, Washington. Includes more then 20 mostly famous and superb armours.
Very nice catalog published at the occasion of the ‘Art of Samurai: Selections from the Tokyo National Museum’ exhibition in The Bowers Museum in 2009. The exhibition featured 80 superb pieces, nicely illustrated in this catalog.
Fabulous book with many selected pieces from the 8,000 pieces in the Osaka Castle collection. The book, published to celebrate the centennial of the incorporation of Osaka as a city, is as it should be: bi-lingual, full with beautiful pictures and nice explanations. Not only many armours, but also many other samurai items, battle screens (with details) etc.
