This magazine issue contains an interesting article on the fabulous Japanese Armour collection (and how it came to be) of The Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Very nice catalog written by Ian Bottomley at the occasion of the exhibition “Shogun: The Life of Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu”, held at the Royal Armouries Museum, Leeds, in collaboration with Nikko Toshogu Shrine in 2005. Lavishly illustrated with Tokugawa related armours, documents, fold out screen reproductions, and many other items.
Very nice publication by Richard Béliveau, written at the occasion of the exhibition “Samurai – The Prestigious Collection of Richard Béliveau”, lavishly illustrated with pieces from his collection. Very nice photography.

Thin but very nice publication of Jean-Christophe Charbonnier that focusses on one superb armour. With several pictures of the different parts of the armour.
Thin booklet from Louis and Kei Kaneda Chappelear (who would later become ‘famous’ for the ‘Japanese Armor for the Samurai’ book – see B0413) for a presentation they gave at the Japanese Sword Club of Northern California in January 1978.
