hddennis Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 Just acquired this menpo online and would like to know the Japanese name for it and approximate age if possible. Thanks, Howard Dennis Quote
Justin Grant Posted August 25, 2013 Report Posted August 25, 2013 It is a Resseimen Menpo. My guess is late Edo. It is missing the facial hair. Quote
uwe Posted August 29, 2013 Report Posted August 29, 2013 Agree with Justin, "tetsu shu urushi nuri ressei men" with "kiritsuke kozane kebiki odoshi tare". Standard "Nara-Type" I guess! Regards Uwe Quote
hddennis Posted August 30, 2013 Author Report Posted August 30, 2013 Thanks for the help fellows, that's just what I was looking for. Now, can anyone tell me more about my question of the significance of why my newest kabuto has 56 plates and I can find zero reference online to a kabuto with 56 plates? Howard Dennis Quote
