Full Appraisal of a Yukinoshita-Dō Gusoku

Step into the world of Edo-period Japan with this beautifully presented volume, offering a rare and insightful appraisal of a full suit of samurai armour created for the wife of a samurai of rank. Richly illustrated with detailed photographs and clear descriptions, the book explores every section of the armour and its accompanying regalia, uncovering the artistry, craftsmanship and cultural significance behind each element. A series of illustrated glossaries introduces the Japanese terminology for each component alongside its English equivalent, making the subject accessible to both enthusiasts and newcomers. Written in an engaging, easy-to-follow style, the work is complemented by a striking photographic gallery in which the armour is brought to life, worn by a female model to capture the elegance and presence it once commanded.
