Beautiful catalog of a magnificent exhibition held in the Tokyo National Museum in 2007 : “Legacy of the Tokugawa – The glories and treasures of the last samurai dynasty”. The exhibition was the first time that major possessions of the Tokugawa Shoguns, the three branch Tokugawa Daimyos (Owari, Kii and Mito) and several shrines and temples are put together on display.

The all color catalog contains many items, including several of the famous Tokugawa armours.
