    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. Luc T
    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. Luc T
    Certainly not! A Joshu (or Soshu) koboshi kabuto dates from the late 1500, not the early 1300. This is elementary knowledge.

    Opinions on yoroi

    Partially edo and modern?

    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.

    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.

    Hi Alain, Apart from the patina, what I see is a Myochin edo hanbo. Chin, Yadome..

    Won an auction

    Luc T replied to Yves's topic in Katchu

    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.

    Ienari, my first Saotome was one! Splendid smith.
  13. Luc T
    This depends on many many things
  14. Luc T
    Both are fine kabuto. What do you want to restore?
  15. Luc T
    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
