Nicolas Maestre Posted April 11 Report Posted April 11 Hi all, This is from a brand new koshirae. At first I felt that something was off with these shitodome... Didn't know why. Now I realize that it's because I have never seen a rectangular shape shitodome on antique/Japanese made koshirae! Have you? 1 Quote
Spartancrest Posted April 11 Report Posted April 11 These look like a modern design from sword part suppliers https://www.ebay.com/itm/256749986998 from China A little more exotic also from China. With a lot of Chinese reproductions they are often based on older genuine published designs - I haven't found the original piece yet though. 2 Quote

Expand That's the thing, me neither... So I wonder if this design is historically accurate or not... Thanks again for looking into it 😉 1 Quote
