Zouhyou Monogatari

[Otagiri Tatsuzou]

SR Turnbull has published a list of items that an ashigaru was
expected to carry on the march in The Samurai Sourcebook (ISBN 1-85409-523-4).

I will update this posting with preferred links as I find them.

The link is not valid any more. Can anybody advise me another source for Zouhyo Monogatari? Many thanks in advance.

Do itashimashite ... but if you're using this for "official" SCA documentation be forewarned that the book is one generation "out of period," published in 1649 or so.

[baronalejandro]

That's ok. Ashigaru probably can't read or tell dates anyway. ;D
