Bazza Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Guido, thank you. I have hope that my only kabuto may one day be restored. I was also deeply moved by this story: http://www.nippon.com/en/views/b06501/ BaZZa. 2 Quote
JoA Posted July 20, 2017 Report Posted July 20, 2017 Thank you Guido. Nishioka san is an amazing armor maker, one of the very few left. I was lucky to visit his workshop multiple times. His very kind wife makes the odoshi by hand so she can exactly copy what is necessary during the restauration process. See another short article here (it has been shown here before I believe): http://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2012/10/23/people/samurai-armor-restorers-chizuru-and-fumio-nishioka/#.WXCkcyN95GE and a feature (with video also) on google Arts and Culture: https://www.google.com/culturalinstitute/beta/exhibit/QQLyljF9vJsuLw Jo 1 Quote
