(Product Details)
In recent years, the popularity of Western armor has been increasing due to the influence of manga, anime, and games. Although several specialized books on Western armor have been published since around 1970, thanks to the activities of Shigetoshi Miura, the only Western armor maker in Japan, there is still a lack of resources in Japan. Furthermore, while information can be obtained from all over the world via the internet, there are few explanations in Japanese, making it difficult to judge the accuracy of the information.
This book introduces the works of Shigetoshi Miura in the form of a collection of works, with many large-format color photographs and explanations by the author, who is his only assistant, using as few technical terms as possible. It is a "beginner's book" on Western armor, visually focused so that anyone can enjoy it, allowing you to appreciate Western armor with your eyes.
