Hello everyone!

For those of you interested there is a stunning article in the March issue of Military History magazine called 'Art in Armor'.

Absolutely beautiful article dealing with samurai armor. In fact, it is more of a pictorial than an article.

Anyway, just thought I'd let you all know.

 

Cheers!

Larry

OOOOPPS - WRONG THREAD - NOW HOw DID I DO THAT?????? See viewtopic.php?f=15&t=7325 for original context.

With apologies,

My above-mentioned friend in yanone has had much contact with Dr Charles Grayson, an eminent archery authority, recently deceased. I've only just remembered his name and did a google with [ grayson yanone ] and got a couple of useful hits, one of which is the following book:

The other was "George's Pictures" website:

with a direct link to the Charles E. Grayson collection:

Remember that an alternative name for yanone is yajiri and just plugging the latter into google gives a number of hits.
