B772.  The Manufacture of Armour and Helmets in 16th Century Japan by Sakakibara Kozan, revised and edited by H. Russell Robinson.  1963 1st edition.  Hardbound, the dust jacket is missing, 7 1/2 x 10″, 155 pages in English.  This is a very informative book, with tons of detail about the variations in armor and the schools of armor smiths who made them.  I’ve never studied Japanese armor but I can’t imagine someone who has, not being thrilled to own this book.

A former owner’s name is written inside the cover and there is a bit of writing and underlining in pencil inside the book. This is a good reading copy. 1 pound, 10 ounces.  Normally $115; this copy can be had for $95.
