The Ietada is a top kabuto. This one is made by the big guy! the menpo is a top tohoku men, unfortunately not in the best condition. the rest of the armor is from an above average quality. Composite but nevertheless interesting pieces.

Lukrez, You are looking for a pre edo Ooyoroi? Sorry, not possible. There are very few, and they all are in museums ore temples. There is only one in the west, in the Metropolitan NY. Late edo is possible.

I came across a picture of this beauty! Isn’t this pure art?

Hi Mr. Taelman,
I am very curious (and thrilled) with your dating this kabuto as belonging to
the early Yamato era. I would most appreciate your thoughts on this.
Thank you very much.
Vince

I get it now. Yamato referred to is a location and not the Yamato era.

Sorry for the late reply.
I think the hachi is pre edo. And the production area seems to be yamato.

Thank you so much, Sir
!

Jason, this is made somewhere around the last quarter of the 20th century

A typical modern replica indeed, in a bad state of preservation

An early Yamato kabuto

To me, (one of) the best private collection(s) outside Japan. but I am a little afraid for the preservation of the armors due to al the manipulation necessary for all the worldwide expositions. the solid backbone of this collection is the former collection of the late Jean Saporta, who sold his treasures after having health problems +-15 years ago. A must see for al Samurai enthusiasts.

Old shiinari you have there. Kansai work, maybe Haruta

Dear Brian, yes, the set is 20st century. A popular repro set. Easy to recognise, because there are several popping up from time to time. Nice as a display, but no historical value. in case of historical armors, it is an illusion to do correct restoration yourself, without a serious study of the needed techniques, styles, regions and periods. Also the use of the right materials is paramount. Even choosing the correct size of the silk laces is a serious matter. restoration can easily turn out into destruction.

Was it made for export, or display? Bakumatsu or meiji?
