Description
A vivid and informative guide to the many types of armour worn by samurai from the 10th to the 19th centuries. Learn about the classic o-Yoroi ('great armour'), designed for its lightness and flexibility when firing a bow from horseback; haramake (‘belly wrap’) armour, worn by men-at-arms; mempo (face masks) designed to reflect the personality of the wearer and strike fear into his enemies – and much more. With 180 photographs and illustrations, this is a compact, accessible guide to a subject which continues to fascinate modern readers.
