That is a late edo armour representing a tengu, a mythical creature that was a man with birdlike features, there were said to be different variations of tengu, and there are lots of armours with tengu features. in fact one of my books has a edo period picture of miyamoto musashi being trained to fight by tengu warriors. If you like that armour you will like one of the miniatures in the next release...

Regarding books thanks for the offer of info wansui, but I too have the gakken books plus many others, they are a great source of info, pity the gakken books are in Japanese though.

Do you plan on adding this version of Uesugi Kenshin's armor?



Is it possible to sell some standards separate as many daimyo's used the same sort of o/ko uma jirushi such as giant war fans,streamers(I don't know what else to call them),and 3d ones?

Wansui if you can read kanji I may ask if you can identify certain armours in future if I get stuck, fortunately my brother reads hiragana and katakana, but not kanji, and gakken books seem to mostly be kanji.

Regarding that Kenshin armour, it is the most impressive, i have a book that shows it from several angles and the face is different on eack of its three sides, i also like the molten lava affect on the armour. but I'm going to be focusing on sekighara lords for now.

Lots of the best samurai books are expensive and hard to find, but I have found lots come on eBay periodically.

I can read kanji thanks to my Chinese heritage lol

I'm fortunate that some of my relatives or friends live in Japan therefore they help me order and send me the books.

In my honest opinion the Gakken books on Ebay are way overpriced.

Look these up on Japanese Amazon

There's the Mori clan 毛利戦記―大内、尼子を屠った元就の権謀 (歴史群像シリーズ) [ムック]
There's Mori Motonari 毛利元就―西国の雄、天下への大知略 (歴史群像シリーズ) 学習研究社

There are plethora of books on castle I will list 2 that got high ratings on Amazon.
日本100名城公式ガイドブック―日本の文化遺産「城」を見に行こう (歴史群像シリーズ) [単行本]
戦国の城 (歴史群像シリーズ特別編集) [ムック]

I can't vouch for the credibility of these books as I don't own them...
