Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Arms & Armour of the Samurai, Bison Books, London, 1988. First Edition. From the blurb A member of the aristocracy, from the tenth century, the samurai was primarily a mounted archer. This is reflected in the light, lamellar yoroi armour which left the right arm free for drawing his bow. Helmets were simple, with leather neck-pieces. Battle began with an exchange of arrows and was followed by a series of hand-to-hand combats among champions who relied on the sword. Fighting in wooded, mountainous countryside, hand-to-hand combat came into its own. The bulky yoroi was superseded by the lighter, less constricting do maru and the no dachi, a longer version of the naginata (glaive), was introduced. The renowned Samurai cult of the sword began in this period. The samurai's most ornate and elaborate armour dates from the Tokugawa era, and was probably not intended for use in actual battle. The long development of arms and armour in the samurai's 700-year history is fully detailed in this handsome volume. Illustrated with over 300 photographs, Arms & Armour of the Samurai will be a welcome addition to the libraries of all military enthusiasts. This large format book, 192 pages measuring 302mm X 225mm, is in near-fine condition in a near-fine dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a mylar wrap. There is a Christmas gift sticker on the first free endpaper. A finely produced volume on heavy stock paper with high-quality photographs. N° de réf. du vendeur 2081
