Hi Peter,

if I remember well, Jo mentioned, it's a quite rare and very expensive set! Wish there was a translation.....

Hi Peter

 

Thank you for noticing my videos!

I do realize there are not real reviews (as they are silent), but for most of the books I have a few words on my website, www.katchu-no-bi.com, in particular for the video you showed here: http://www.katchu-no-bi.com/2016/03/07/book-review-nihon-jodai-no-katchu-nihon-jodai-no-buki-by-masao-suenaga/

The main purpose of these video 'reviews'  is twofold

- I bought too many armour related books myself based on 1-2 pictures I got from the seller, and noticed when I got the book that these were not representative of the real content. In some cases, they showed the only armours in the book... So I want to give people an idea of what is in these books

- As I live in Japan, I am lucky to have more access to unknown books or armour, so it is also a way of showing what else exist in the armour world...

 

I also have a small selection on tsuba and swords, and plan to add all my books over the coming months years. I'm at about 15-20% right now.

You can find an overview of the books that I have online here: http://www.katchu-no-bi.com/library-sortable/

I have also 'entry points' via author, title or topic...

 

Anyway, thanks again for making time to have a look!

Maybe we should commission one.
