Masked Warriors

The Battle Stage of the Samurai

De onderstaande tekst is niet beschikbaar in het Nederlands en wordt in het Engels weergegeven.
"Masked Warriors provides new insights into the approach of form, function and meaning of Japanese armour masks, or menp.. In this richly illustrated book, Bas Verberk shows how armour masks, while representing a diverse tradition of their own, have connections with the larger Japanese mask culture, especially with n. masks. In fact, Verberk shows, n. masks exerted a much greater influence on the development of armour masks than has previously been understood. The objects displayed in the catalogue section of this publication not only include masks, but also arms and armour, n.gaku robes and costumes."
