Very thin catalog for an exhibition in 2005. Some of the armour is quite famous and is also displayed in other catalogs, some are unique to this catalog. Although the catalog is thin and not groundbreaking, a very good effort was made to place the pieces chronologically.

This is a really nice catalog from an exhibition that was organized by members of the Japanese Armour Society in 2012. Rather unique is that several pictures are shown per armour.
A unique exhibition in Hiroshima castle just opened it’s doors. It is to my knowledge the first time that an exhibition exclusively devoted to menpō and sōmen is held here in Japan. Some 60 pieces from top collections in Japan are on display. A catalog is also available.Link in Japanese

This catalog will certainly please the ashigaru enthusiasts, as it focusses on their equipment. Includes also a lot of pictures from old documents.
