  1. the most frustrating part for me was that there were some interesting pieces that must have been signed, but not a word of explanation nor notion of the mei. One helmet, probably a Nobuie, was appartenly dated 152(1?), but no name on the display... about the helmets, there was a momonari kabuto with butterfly maedate that is magnifficent. (Sakura museum)
  2. Yes, there was a splendid oyoroi, dated 14 th century. This was an edo high end copy, or less likely a late muromachi armor What we see on this picture is a Joshu koboshi kabuto, made around 1570, not early 1300.
  3. Certainly not! A Joshu (or Soshu) koboshi kabuto dates from the late 1500, not the early 1300. This is elementary knowledge.
  4. here a nice preview of their ‘expertise’

    Opinions on yoroi

    Partially edo and modern?
  6. I visited the ‘show’ today. i am shocked about the many wrong datings… elementary knowledge is absent, and this for such an institution. if you visit the expo, which I recommend, let the items speak for themselves, and forget the text on the labels.
  7. Hi Gary, this is a set made in West Japan. I think this counts for all the pieces of the armor. the Kabuto has a slight akoda shape. Better pictures would be good, this can also be Sagami work. the menpo is rather the so called nara-style (from what I see) the dou, nuinobe, is also rather Nanto style. the lacing, nice detail here, is als rather West Japanese.
  8. Hi Alain, Apart from the patina, what I see is a Myochin edo hanbo. Chin, Yadome..

    Won an auction

    According the mei and nengo, this is a first generation Nobuie. Nobuie 1 started in 1504 (the first known nengo). Nobuie 2 started in 1532. An elegant helmet. It would be good to see the different angles.

    Katchū N°8

    And yes, N°9 is almost printed! this will be a top edition!
  12. Ienari, my first Saotome was one! Splendid smith.
  13. This depends on many many things
  14. Both are fine kabuto. What do you want to restore?
  15. The last pic is a koboshi Iechika. Iechika: 1630~1730. Indeed several generations, but no further info is available since the Saotome records are destroyed in a fire
