Two Hundred Illustrations of Arms and Armor

Japanese (Artist)

1848 (Edo period (1603-1868))

Woodblock printed; ink and colors on paper

This book contains colorful illustrations of armor, weapons, battle formations, and defenses. Illustrations are often accompanied by identifying texts that make this book accessible and very didactic for both samurai and laypeople.
