The Samurai of Ancient Japan was willing to uphold his honour in lone combat or sacrifice his life in massive mounted charges, always following the code of Bushido. This volume traces the 700 year development of Samurai arms and armour.
Japan is a mysterious and beguiling country, steeped in the deepest of traditions yet strikingly modern. Here, Ian Bottomley offers an overview of Japanese arms and armour from the middle ages describing sword-making, key military campaigns and samurai culture in the 'Land of the Rising Sun'.
