Nice...who is the author and where did you find this. I have a couple of friends/mentors that are true students of Bugei, and one is actually recognized as Samurai in Japan. I have never seen this. If they havent Id love to shoot them a copy with your permission. Look up James Williams and Don Angier on youtube. These guys live Bushido. Thanks for the insight.

Japanese culture is truly interesting. Went to the Dallas museum to see the samurai exhibit. Awesome.

I missed it. I was pissed. Hope we can discuss the topic further. Bushido really does have a lot more merrit in modern warfare than what it gets credit for.

Man there was so much detail in making the armor, not a single frey of fabric. I'm not too savvy but the "helmet" was straight awesome!
