Lorenzo - Great video - I recognised one of the armours, it used to be in Arashiyama, Kyoto, then I was offered it. Small world.

Eric, Nice armour. I have one in black with the kamon of the Date family on the crupper. It has a remarkable feature in that scales drop off every time you look at it.

Thanks for the video, Lorenzo. I did not understand much, but the film made a lot of sense.

Fascinating dragon mask, Eric. Now I need just a place which sells stuffed horses :badgrin: --off course at a bargain price(shipping included!)

The fondazione in that case was sort of promoter, but the video shows the "Samurai" exhibition in Milan last year; I think Carlo already put some link here time ago.

 

The official site is now gone, as the exhibition itself.. you can see something left here:

... and, the same exhibition will be open again this year, but in Venice:

Some pictures of my saddle, Eric. Except for the side protectors it is complete including chest and stand. I am still lookig for matching protectors in green and gold leather. The kura is late Edo, the abumi are early Edo, maybe earlier. They carry the kiri mon and a signature which I suppose, is "Nariyuki Saku", eberything originally inlaid with silver(ginzogan), most of it gone now. Generally they show a lot of wear. Here they come:
Moss, here are a pair of side protectors for sale in Japan. Probably not quite the colors you were looking for but.......buguya07-img600x450-1269585294ucf5xy27831.jpg http://www.japanauctioncenter.com/view2 ... /r63805988
