Tengu1957 Posted February 16, 2024 Report Posted February 16, 2024 Myochin Iehisa O-Boshi papered Tokubetsu by the armor society late Edo Myochin Ietsugu Akodonari I posted in error previously in the wrong place. Momoyama jidai. Usually Haruta did this work but this is a Myochin who worked in this style. Many thanks to Nick at nihontoart.com for selling these to me 4 1 Quote

Tengu1957 Posted February 17, 2024 Author Report Posted February 17, 2024 I'm not sure why it was used , it doesn't look like anything recent. I assume it was done the last time the shikoro was remounted. 1 Quote
