Description
Weapons of the Samurai explores the array of weapons and equipment used by Japan's legendary warriors. Featuring specially commissioned artwork, this fully illustrated study assesses the development of samurai arms over 500 years.
The book examines how individual samurai employed various weapons in different situations, tracing their introduction from the 10th century onwards. It draws on previously untranslated primary texts to shed light on the spread of these arms among low-class troops and rebels during the Edo Period (1615-1868).
