Nice exhibition catalog. Besides some interesting excavation material and documents, the armour treat is here some nice heian period yoroi details, not only from a very old (fallen apart) armour, but also from a recently made copy.
Old magazine with a nicely illustrated overview of 100 important players from the Sengoku period. Many such magazines exists (modern ones have better pictures of course).
