Iekatsu Posted October 12, 2022 Report Posted October 12, 2022 Hello Andrew, An interesting subject, while not fundamentally different, Ashigaru armour is often lower quality and tends not to be the focus of most books. I am not aware of any dedicated publications on the topic, but in the back of the books below are Items from the Shoji Izawa collection which is a good place to start to see a bunch of examples. If you are new to armour in general I would take a look at some more generalists books. https://www.amazon.co.jp/-/en/伊澤-昭二/dp/4056028923/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1665565163&s=books&sr=1-1&text=伊澤+昭二 https://www.amazon.co.jp/Illustration-Sengoku-Armor-Collection-Historical/dp/405603642X/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1665565163&s=books&sr=1-2&text=伊澤+昭二 2 Quote
