When I started this project I knew it would be difficult because I can not read Japanese well. Fortunately most of the instructions are accompanied by excellent photographs and that has been a great help in working on this project. Although the building instructions are only a few pages in what appears to be a very interesting magazine. There are many different sections and chapters chapters of what I assume are: Stories of historical armour building techniques, famous Samurai and notable battles, the life story of Date Masamune, and much more. However, for now all I can do is scrutinize some tiny images on a few pages from each issue. There is much more unexamined content that will just have to wait until my language level improves.
So what do I do with these issues after I have assembled the parts? When starting this project I bought four special binders to keep them. They are hardcover binders with the magazine logo on the cover and an embossed family crest on the back. Each binder holds 14 issues so the complete set of 55, and the series guide, should fit exactly in four.
