The Nihon Katchū Bugu Kenkyū Hozon Kai (NKBKHK) is the main armour society in Japan.

We have monthly meetings, a magazine in Japanese (about 4 times a year) and some other events.

One of the main problems for people who are not living in Japan is to get into contact with the society and to become a member.

I am a director of society with a special focus on foreign relations and I’m more then willing to help people who want to become a member. I’m also coordinating the English index and abstracts in the magazine, and a partial translation of the magazine. Please contact me via the email on the about page if you are interested to become a member.

The society now also has a new (bi-lingual) homepage: www.japanese-armor.or.jp. (One of my new responsibilities is the English website, so expect also some changes there)
