Ancient Japanese Samurai Navy Ship Boat Recreated Book 【USED】

The rough translation of this books title is: "Reconstructing Japanese Seafaring Vessels - From the Ancient to Modern" - In this case, modern meaning the Meiji period.
 
Though Samurai era history is not often associated with seafaring, the ancient Japanese were adept at maritime science and technology. 
This is a fascinating review of vessel design, and includes many references from ancient documents and art, but mostly modern detailed illustration, and modeling of old craft. 
This is an invaluable reference for anyone into ancient ships, maritime science, or Japanese/Asian history. 
130pgs - 18.5 x 24 Printed on finely lacquered stock.  100% of the page spreads contain images or detail drawings.
