This is a very rare manuscript of Asajirō Morita, one of the great post-edo armor maker, about the cords used in armours, mainly tōsei gusoku. It contains 77 color pictures of cord-remains from Nambokucho onwards, with his comments.

The same content was one year later bundled with 5 articles Mr.  Morita wrote in the magazine of the armor society (will be reviewed later).
