Samurai, The Weapons and Spirit of the Japanese Warrior

Discover over the pages this magnificent book on samurai weapons, armor and their stories.

“For more than a thousand years, the history of Japan has been almost inseparable from that of the military elite of the samurai. Historically, the weapons and armor of the samurai have been admired as much for their formidable efficiency as for their beauty of form. which made them very sought after all over the world. This weaponry has not been in use since the end of the Second World War and their appeal has therefore become more aesthetic than functional. Some parts reached the West as early as the 17th century, the more often given as gifts to high-profile personalities. However, it was not until the second half of the 19th century that objects from Japan became very popular in Europe, while the samurai continued to carry their weapons on a daily basis. At that time, a few collectors managed to bring together exceptional inventories of these “exotic” weapons from this “small and so distant” country. t of these large collections were dispersed, but clubs have since been formed to perpetuate the mysteries of this unique art in the world. The vogue for martial arts or Budo has conquered a large number of practitioners all over the world, going beyond the original inspiration of bushido, "the way of the warrior". These practices include the handling of weapons such as the Japanese sword in iaido or kendo. The study of traditional Japanese weapons, and in particular that of swords, represents a cultural activity of primary importance in addition to a working knowledge of techniques and materials. This book is intended for those who wish to approach this subject by helping lovers of technique and aesthetes to enter a little-known universe which is much more than a romantic evocation of a prestigious military past.
