Gentlemen,
Just received my copy: each year it gets better, congratulations.
I foresee many hours of interesting reading, beginning with the biography of Bashford Dean (it could become a featured series on the great collectors of the past).
As usual, an outstanding work.
Thank you.
Massimo

Re: KATCHU
Thank you for your kind words, Massimo and Mischa. This is where we are now, thanks to a small but very motivated team. All we want is to improve the knowledge about Japanese Armor.

Re: KATCHU
I am telling myself to be patient. The post between Europe and Japan seems to be exceptionally slow at the moment. Christmas cards took over a month going both ways. Three cards arrived at either end in the last few days, 10th~14th January.

A big thank you to all involved in the production, another triumph!

Re: KATCHU
Mine arrived today, and I've already shown it to several people. "Where can we buy these?" I was even asked. It's beautifully executed.
Many thanks, looking forward to reading the articles.
