Indeed Ian, he speaks about ‘different craftsmen’ All the rest is, to use the wise man’s words, ‘Alice in Wonderland’.... Btw there exist a couple of kabuto, signed (Joshu ju) Saotome Ietada, and dated around 1700. Still outstanding quality, dispite his very high age :-)
-
I discussed this matter many many hours with Orikasa sensei. I recommend all of you to read his publications. http://www.saotomebook.com/p/studies-on-arms-and-armour.html the book is sold out, but maybe it is for sale second hand.
-
Justin, there were approximately 6 generations of Ietada.
-
According the used techniques and style, I would date this Ietada end 17th century. Cherish it, Ietada must have been the best kabutomaker of the Edo period.
-
Sasama’s information is outdated, more recent research places Ietada in the early 17 th century. Ietada became a ronin after Sekikahara, with the name Chikara. You can find more information in the Saotomebook, by Orikasa Sensei. http://www.saotomebook.com Nice kabuto.

The armors are back in their bitsu, for another 20 years...

Dear Ian,As there are so many copies of Gitsu, Takayoshi, and the ghost (you know who I am referring to), they must have had a certain reputation and status. Orikasa allways told me, the owner of such a masterpiece gained respect in his environment, en was envied for the subtle beauty of their work. So, some of them must have been adorated during their life?
-
Swords are offensive Armor is protection.... The Japanese approach, yes...
-
I have a Takayoshi with bullet impact. A war-production Takayoshi. Allmost no damage on the inside!

The Akoda-nari is said to have been rejected due to its weak construction. But is there any reliable records to support this or is this a modern theory? Holding a true Muromachi Akoda-nari in your hands def support that impression, but again, can we find records that support this ”feeling”? Again, a very interesting topic involving several fields of study. Jan There is another reason for the disappearing of the akodanari. The bow and arrow lost importance....

This kind of kabuto is rather late edo indeed
-
This is a fine kabuto to start a collection. Well done Javier! These zunari were revolutionary at their time. They also were an inspiration for 500 years of personal protection.

Indeed , the nkbkhk issues such papers. I advise to ask some information before bringing it in for shinsa

Haruta Ietsugu was a good smith. He made a lot of 32 plate o boshi kabuto.

With the Japanese Armor Society, we had the chance to visit this remarcable museum. The owner, Peter Janssen, received 34 members from all over the world, including 9 members , boardmembers and the President of the NKBKHK. And, one of our members, Aymeric Antien, discovered a true Joshu Yawada kabuto, the third known till now! If you go to Berlin, this museum is worth your visit. -
Modern reproduction. Nice as a display.
-
Some oki’s have them too. I think it’s haruta and edo, not sure.
-
Piers, there are two on display in Leiden, both mumei. These zukinnari kabuto are quite rare. I know not one who’s signed.
-
anyway, the book is a must-have. The price is still cheap for such a work full with top-material.
-
We missed you Piers. Next time maybe. the Saiga is the property of the Belgian museum for History. They bought it from the Mène collection sale in Paris, 1913.
-
Piers, I know the owner, i,can bring you in contact with him if you want. He certainly knows a lot about it.
-
This exhibition was a big surprise for the Japanese boardmembers of the NKBKHK. I enjoyed the stories behind the armours, told by our Japanese friends... great exhibition!
-
We published an article about toppainari in our JAS yearbook 2018. The author is Takemura sensei.

It looks like a nerikawa with builr up suji.
