Max C Posted May 14, 2012 Report Posted May 14, 2012 Hello everyone, I just bought this antique jingasa, and was wondering if anyone could help me identify its provenance and age? The Mon is familiar but I can't remember where I've seen it before. Any hint you can give is appreciated! Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 15, 2012 Report Posted May 15, 2012 Maxime, thanks for showing the Jingasa. It's in pretty good condition. The Mon is a Kanji written in Kaku-Ji style (square-block) so you can see that without being able to read this Kanji, it could be one of thousands. Have a look here: http://minagi.p-kit.com/page135514.html Quote
Max C Posted May 15, 2012 Author Report Posted May 15, 2012 Thank you Piers! I took a look at that list for a couple of minutes and... oh boy! I came up with a couple of candidates but none of them really look like what I have here, but I guess its just because of the way it was stylized. What would the kanji refer to? A unit or a family?
