Japanese Armour - Two Books on Samurai Yoroi torrent

There is very little online information in English available regarding Japanese Armour.

So I am pleased to upload these two books to help armour enthusiasts with their studies…

“The manufacture of armour and helmets in sixteenth century Japan” by Sakakibara Kozan, Edo 1800. Revised and Edited by H. Russell Robinson 1962

“The Armour Book in Honcho-Gunkiko” by Arai Hakuseki, edited by H. Russell Robinson. Originally written somewhere between 1709 and 1722. Published 1964.

These books are in colour, pdf format.


Please keep in mind these books were photographed, processed and uploaded by an amateur/ volunteer working weekends and late nights. I made the quality the best I could with the means at my disposal. I apologise in advance if it is not up to professional standards. I have learnt a lot from this project and future projects will be an improvement on this work
