I'm familiar with the Tokugawa gusoku that incorporated European armor, but I came across this picture of a reproduction of sorts. I was wondering if this was modeled after some armor of Kenshin's that did in fact also use European cuirass or breastplate? If so, does any one have pictures of the original?

Thanks Uwe. Lovely collection! :Drooling:

 

But, anyone know if Kenshin had a Gusoku with a European cuirass, or if the one picture is just a fantasy piece?

 

Any known books on Armor of the Uesugi clan?
