John A Stuart Posted June 14, 2017 Report Posted June 14, 2017 These struck me as a great way to make an anime using old drawings to illustrate how to dress for battle. https://media.giphy.com/media/3o7btMfPtI3U2MXguk/giphy.gif John 7 Quote

Jean Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 How many hours separate the first stage from the last one? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 And he has not even put on his kabuto yet! In those days they had helpers, perhaps ashigaru, which would have cut down on time, and repeating the process of dressing for battle would have further shortened the process. For teppo displays today we usually have a minumum of 90 minutes to load the guns and get our full Tosei gusoku kit on. I have been doing this for 15 years. Some members like to ask each other for help in donning or tying certain pieces of armour, but others refuse any help. Gradually you learn shortcuts and improvisation. Quote
estcrh Posted June 16, 2017 Report Posted June 16, 2017 Haha! So heavy at the end he has to sit down. Piers, the final image is missing, he eventually would have ended up riding a horse as o-yoroi (as you know) were not meant for walking around in. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted June 17, 2017 Report Posted June 17, 2017 My goodness, what a splendid appearance! Quote
estcrh Posted June 17, 2017 Report Posted June 17, 2017 My goodness, what a splendid appearance! Indeed, the mongol scrolls confirm this appearance. Quote
estcrh Posted June 18, 2017 Report Posted June 18, 2017 Does anyone have some info on the prints, who made them and when, title of the series if any etc? The "Tanki Yoriaku Hi Ko Ben" (Samurai armor and equipment manual), written by Hayakawa Kyuukei, 1735, translation by Matt Garbutt, 1911, shows the individual clothing and armor items in more detail but with black and white line drawings. Here is a link to the whole book. https://www.pinterest.com/worldantiques/tanki-yoriaku-hi-ko-ben/ 1 Quote
