Subject:Identification of Booklet
Posted By: Lance Frazer Wed, Jan 15, 2020 IP: 2601:204:4002:e750:5 Perhaps an odd question, but here goes. This was in between two prints I purchased some time ago, and I'd love to find out what it is, and what its use might be. It is a stapled booklet, approx. 10x14, with dozens of photos of yoroi. As I neither speak nor read Japanese, I'd like to find out its purpose. The only page with English printing contains instructions "How to set up the Yoroi," leading me to believe it's instructions for setting up the armor for exhibits in museums, but it wouldn't be the first time I've been wide of the mark. Would appreciate any insights (more photos available if desired). Thanks in advance. |

Posted By: Lance Frazer Fri, Jan 17, 2020 Thank you. Most intriguing. Would you think this might have been made for or by a museum for an exhibition, for general historical education or some other purpose? |
