  13. Hi Dillan. This looks like a very intersting toppai kabuto. We just published an article in our yearbook about this type of kabuto. We can discuss this here, as Brian suggests. Do you have pictures of the inside, without ukebari? Luc Taelman, chairman of the Japanese Armor Society

    Nkbkhk Shinsa

    I see both as my sensei, and I have tremendous respect for them. As you know, respect is an essential aspect of Japanese culture.

    Another person in the team is Takemura sensei. For those who read the articles of our magazine, it is obvious that this man has a huge knowledge about the regional oregins of armor. Both Orikasa and Takemura’s research were the base for western articles and books on the subject.

    on the pictures you see Orikasa sensei, aged and fragile. But once you start talking about kabuto he blows you over with his knowledge. Always with hard evidence, always super rational, he is an engineer after all. Respect for this big man!
