I can't decide which mask would fit historical best to the helmet.

 

I was on the way for a russet color, but now i have a offer for a black und a red mask. What you think - what kind of mask and which color would be the best for the kabuto?

 

Thanks a lot for help.

Chris,

 

I agree with Uwe. The mask you posted is from the Myochin and I think a Nara-type like the first one Uwe posted would suit best. However, it's always a matter of personal taste. Also, if you can, try to match the tare/yodare kake of the mask with the shikoro of the kabuto as closely as possible, with the same plate style and odoshi colour and pattern (hishi nui, mimi ito, etc.). I this particular instance, the plates of your shikoro seem to be covered in sabi nuri (urushi imitating russet iron) and the odoshi is quite simple - sugake (wide-spaced) in dark blue with no accent colours (hishi nui or mimi ito in different colours).

I found one and purchased it. It should be on the way to me.

 

To look if it fits, i have assambled the pictures together in photoshop. The scale, lights and direction of the pictures don't fit exactly but i get i good view how it will look like.
