kaigunair Posted June 30, 2014 Report Posted June 30, 2014 I'm familiar with the Tokugawa gusoku that incorporated European armor, but I came across this picture of a reproduction of sorts. I was wondering if this was modeled after some armor of Kenshin's that did in fact also use European cuirass or breastplate? If so, does any one have pictures of the original? Quote

CSM101 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Posted July 1, 2014 A modificated helmet. Or, at least it seems so. Uwe G. Quote
kusunokimasahige Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 That is not a European but a Chinese/Korean.other country in Asia model helmet. KM Quote
CSM101 Posted July 2, 2014 Report Posted July 2, 2014 I always thought, that it could be from Spain, or so.. But my knowledge about armour is veeery limited. Uwe G. Quote
kaigunair Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Posted July 3, 2014 Thanks Uwe. Lovely collection! But, anyone know if Kenshin had a Gusoku with a European cuirass, or if the one picture is just a fantasy piece? Any known books on Armor of the Uesugi clan? Quote
