Bugyotsuji Posted April 17, 2024 Report Posted April 17, 2024 Certificate Edo Jidai, Zenki, Tokubetsu Kitchō. Tetsu Kuro Urushi Nuri Kitsuké Kozané Moegi ito odoshi Ni-mai Dō Gusoku 1 Quote
Yves Posted April 18, 2024 Author Report Posted April 18, 2024 That looks rather limited. Not even early, mid or late Edo? Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 18, 2024 Report Posted April 18, 2024 “Edo Jidai, Zenki” means the first part of the Edo Period. (First 1/3rd) Maybe 1600s. Actually I think that description is quite full. *If it had said “Edo Shoki” then that would have been the very beginning of Edo. 1 Quote
Yves Posted April 18, 2024 Author Report Posted April 18, 2024 Ok, bit confusing these era's. I would take it that the first one third of Edo era would be somewhere between 1603 and 1700. I like this armor and it seems to be in quite good condition + a good kabuto and finish which seems to have belonged to a higher ranking samurai. Never heard of the certifying body. Is it any good? Thanks for your help. Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted April 18, 2024 Report Posted April 18, 2024 There is no certifying body shown in the photo, Yves. And how far do you want the translation, e.g. all the words into English? 1 Quote
