    Nick, do you have a copy of the Chappelear or the Shin katchushi meikan? Munenaga is recorded in both if I remember well. but it requirs some experience with this group to recognise them.

    Dear Ian, i like British humor! :-)But for a person of your standing, we should say O suriage.

    A grey zone ... Myochin stories and fabrications. But an interesting Genuine muromachi technical kabuto. The style ressembles a bit the work of Nobuie 2, but the crafmanship is inferior. I think that this guy was born before Yoshimichi. BUT nothing is sure.

    Munehisa’s roots are in Joshu. As a member of the so called nobu ryu. He signs the same way as Nobuie too. His helmets are made with 4 rows of rivets. It is very good possible that there was war damage on the top before they repaired it. About restoration: Since we are dealing with a muromachi item, I would recommend to leave it as it is.

    Sorry, I can’t help...

    Munenaga is indeed possible Ian. And there is an Ichiguchi Munenaga.

    It is a typical Munehisa! No doubt about this. He worked at the end of the muromachi period in Soshu. The quality of his work is inferior to the Joshu Myochin, but it is a war product. Also the shape is very typical for Munehisa, as is the signature and the date. The reinfordement on the inside is also not that strange. His work was very thin around the tehen no ana. Thanks for sharing this old boy.

    Stylistic, it is Ichiguchi Myochin. Also the aspect of the iron points in that direction. The exagerated shinodare are a part of their style.

    I agree Dave (maybe it’s Easter..?)
  10. Luc T
    Outch... indeed, this happens many times. I agree Dave that important restorations should be documented. Apart from that, is is an educatioal podcast. It allways comes to rule nr one: study on the subject, use your eyes, and don’t believe too beautifull stories easily.

    I agree 100% with Ian. Even armor should be handeled with gloves. It is a matter of respect and conservation

    I received next message from Eric’s wife Rachel: “I just saw all the posts on the forums, and it was really touching! Please do tell everyone, thank you, and I really appreciate their kind messages for my Eric. Rachel”

    Dave Justin, Eric left us only a week ago, I think the family has other concerns now.

    Simon, I had contact with his widow earlier this week, I also sent her a link to this page.

    I found this one on his legendary Pinterest pages, I think it’s a good one to say farewell to Eric

    our former JAS member Eric Tulin passed away last week, after a long and demanding desease. May he finally rest in peace. My deepest condoleances in the name of the Japanese Armor Society for his loved ones.

    the problem with too many books is that when you finish the last one, you forgot the first so you can start all over... quite frustrating if you aske me
  20. Luc T
    right, I own a copy of Arai Hakuseki's honcho hon kiko... that's where it comes form. Thank You!

    Malcolm, can you give a bit of explanation?

    The pictures are too small to see detais.

    Gunbai?

    Luc T replied to ortos's topic in Katchu

    I am not sure, but the mother of pearl and the longer stick could point to a momoyama gunbai

    Mark, it is an interesting and unusual kabuto after all , thanks for sharing. The information in Sasama's Shin Katchushi Meikan is one of the very few sources we have. Altough it must be said that later research changed insights and knowledge, it is still very valuable as a research tool. Takemura sensei, one of the leading experts of our NKBKHK, is working on a new updated katchushi index. Maybe it will bring new insights on your Ieyoshi kabuto.

    Ian, i hope for the day that we can discuss armor with an open mind as we did in the past. This group is too small for troube. It is up to us to change this. Luc T
