Samurai and the tales of their bravery have fascinated generations of Japanese and Westerners alike. Samurai culture was built around the sword, so it's no coincidence that the rise of the samurai class and the origins of the Japanese sword coincide in time. People with a passion for the samurai come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are interested in their history, while others are fascinated by their armor or, more specifically, their swords.
In this last subgroup, we distinguish sword collectors from people who favor all objects associated with swords. All these groups are not necessarily distinguished from each other, since one can perfectly belong to several of them simultaneously. This book is not intended to be the reference work on the samurai, but rather a gateway to discovering samurai history and culture, encouraging all those already interested to temporarily abandon their center of interest to open up to other facets of samurai culture by discovering swords, all the objects associated with them as well as the armor possessed by famous samurai.
