    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)

    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

    Luc T replied to thutson's topic in Katchu

    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
  16. Luc T
    The signature is good. There are no Saotome earlier than edo.
  17. Luc T
    This looks like a very good Ietada, tho other one is a Ienari I suppose?
  18. Luc T
    The menpo of Uwe’s picture is added later to this armor.
  19. Luc T
    Hard to say… it looks young. Late edo, showa, gendai.who is going to tell us?

    Ichiguchi Kabuto

    Luc T replied to Tengu1957's topic in Katchu

    Hi Gary, the shape is in the direction of the Ichiguchi, but I miss some important features to be convinced. Onthe other hand I see a lot of Gitsu influence, even the 72 plates, the shiten no byo, the mabezashi and haraidate. nice find!
  21. Luc T
    Yes, this is the work from East (or North) Japan, Tohoku region.
  22. Luc T
    Hello Meghan, this is a Saotome Ietada shiinari kabuto. I am almost sure it is signed at the rear plate inside the kabuto. The tehen no kanamono seems to be added later. nice mid edo kabuto.

    It was a very nice edition, maybe the best till now! I met a lot of new JAS-members, and it was an honour to give a lecture for you all.
