    the Armeria Reale in Madrid owns some armors that were given to the European Royals around 1600. Unfortunately, the armors suffered a fire, but some parts survived. Does anyone have good pictures of these pieces? Here one of the kabuto.

    I can only highly recommend this work. If you want to understand kabuto, you have to read this.

    Interesting marudou. I suppose it was relaced recently?

    Dark patina, also a trademark of Nagamichi.

    Armor Exibit In Japan

    Luc T replied to estcrh's topic in Katchu

    Dave, this kabuto has very well executed koboshi, approximately +30 per ken. 3 Rows on the front plate. This quality and no Saotome can only be Nagamishi. The style of the fukurin and shikoro confirm this. Thie is one of the very best edo smiths.
  14. Luc T
    In Belgium, we are blessed with Zenon Vandamme. Now retired, but a true urushi artist. More members will know him as a sword polisher.

    Armor Exibit In Japan

    Luc T replied to estcrh's topic in Katchu

    Eric, the kabuto with unvisible lacing is very likely a fine Nagamichi.

    I follow your poit of view Uwe!
  18. Luc T
    some say "less is more", wel in this case "More is more". Both fora are complementary. When I started with my kabutomania, information was scarce, especially in English. Now experience and knowledge are available for anyone, thanks to these fora. Thanks for the administrators!

    Need your opinion

    Luc T replied to Lsne's topic in Katchu

    Japanese dealers know very well what is happening in the us auction houses, So forget it to find exeptional armor in Japan for prices from 10 year ago. About his armor: 1) do you realy like it? 2) are you sure the mei are correct? 3) don't you have to sell the house, wife and kds to buy it? If 3 times yes...
  20. Luc T
    I agree for the date, I misinterpreted the second character. Anyway, very rare to see a dated Saotome.
  21. Luc T
    Nice, typical late Ietada. Dated 1737 i think, this is only the second Saotome I know that is dated!
  22. Luc T
    precisely Ian , it is an interesting matter. The Dutch gave an old vessel to the Japanese, who in turn donated 2 armors and other items to the Dutch. All countrys tried to gain the Japanese market.
  23. Luc T
    it could be Yoshimichi, the style of the kabuto corresponds with his work.
  24. Luc T
    The Munekane story is at least as interesting as the story of the discovery.... Bas Verberk knew that this armor was a gift from the last Tokugawa shogun to the Dutch king. However, there was no evidence. After the opening of the exhibition, I sent a copy of the catalogue to Teruo Orikasa. He saw the pictures of this armor, and recognised it immediately as the royal armor. He was searching for this set since the late '90, because it was recorded in the diary of Myochin Munekane. At the latest DTI, Orikasa san, Ishida san (a well known Myochin specialist) and myself met to discuss the case. Ishida was studying the Munekane Nikki. The Japanese press jumped on the case, a few articles were published in national newspapers ,unfortunately claiming the discovery to a French resident in Japan, who helped Ishida with the research...

    I think this is a dou made first half 18th century. I see Unkai influence. Here another one with the same phoenix.
