    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!

    He has a pupil in the UK, Robert Soanes, also a very fine craftsman. Robert is also a member of the Japanese Armor Society.
  5. the Armeria Reale in Madrid owns some armors that were given to the European Royals around 1600. Unfortunately, the armors suffered a fire, but some parts survived. Does anyone have good pictures of these pieces? Here one of the kabuto.

  7. I will Piers. My focus is on the evolution since the kofun era, with special interst for the momoyama madness.

  11. I can only highly recommend this work. If you want to understand kabuto, you have to read this.
  12. Interesting marudou. I suppose it was relaced recently?

    A Nice O-Yoroi

    Indeed a very nice (revival) o yoroi! Your collection?
  14. Dark patina, also a trademark of Nagamichi.
  15. Dave, this kabuto has very well executed koboshi, approximately +30 per ken. 3 Rows on the front plate. This quality and no Saotome can only be Nagamishi. The style of the fukurin and shikoro confirm this. Thie is one of the very best edo smiths.
  16. In Belgium, we are blessed with Zenon Vandamme. Now retired, but a true urushi artist. More members will know him as a sword polisher.
  17. Eric, the kabuto with unvisible lacing is very likely a fine Nagamichi.
  18. We proudly announce our new book about Kaga Zogan Abumi, "Stirrups for the Samurai" Written by Teruo Orikasa san, containing the description and lots of pictures of 20 signed abumi from the collection of the author, and the genealogies of the various families of smiths. The book costs 58€, but we offer it for the price of €48 plus shipping for the forum members till the end of september 2015. You can place your order by using our website www.saotomebook.com Author: Teruo Orikasa, Photography Jo Anseeuw, Edited by Luc Taelman Read more: http://thesamuraiarmourforum.com/thread/1361/stirrups-samurai#ixzz3mAYVEN4C
  19. I follow your poit of view Uwe!
  20. some say "less is more", wel in this case "More is more". Both fora are complementary. When I started with my kabutomania, information was scarce, especially in English. Now experience and knowledge are available for anyone, thanks to these fora. Thanks for the administrators!

    Need your opinion

    Japanese dealers know very well what is happening in the us auction houses, So forget it to find exeptional armor in Japan for prices from 10 year ago. About his armor: 1) do you realy like it? 2) are you sure the mei are correct? 3) don't you have to sell the house, wife and kds to buy it? If 3 times yes...
  22. I agree for the date, I misinterpreted the second character. Anyway, very rare to see a dated Saotome.
