Armor is a piece of armor that protects the wearer from enemy swords, arrows, and bullets, and its function is not much different from the helmets and bulletproof vests used by modern armies.
However, it is by no means an industrial product that pursues only rationality; it is extremely beautifully made down to the smallest detail, with abundant use of silk thread dyed in gorgeous colors and metal fittings engraved with intricate openwork patterns. .
This book provides thorough explanations using illustrations and photographs, tracing changes over time, from the materials and detailed structure of armor to the way they were worn.
This is a recommended book for the first step into delving deeper into the appeal of armor, which has long been a great symbol of Japanese beauty.
