    Default Looking for an illustrated book on Samurai

    Hey guys, I'm looking for a book with lots of reference images of Samurai armor and troops, along with other Japanese soldiers from the era of Shogun Total War 2, both photos of preserved artifacts and illustrations.

    I figured you wise historians would be able to help me out.

    Are you mainly looking for illustrations or photographs?
