Hi, having time on my hands i thought i might show a couple of kabuto i have.

I collect tsuba and bought these for decoration. 

I am hoping for some info and some idea of age. I hope they are of some interest and help you from getting to bored in this troubled time.

Best regards and stay safe.

Good afternoon Peter,

 

Thank you for sharing your collection.

The Kamon on the 62 plate Suji Kabuto looks very much like Mukou Yama Zakura sakura6.gif

 

Mukou Yama Zakura became synonymous with the Rikugun (Army), from early Showa onwards.

 

I suggest some research done on this, as it may have been added in the 1930's to show allegiance to the National effort.

 

(Just me musing, so take no real notice, those that have me in the flesh, at DTI, know me to be a bit thick........ :) )

 

However the Kamon on the Zunari Fukigaeshi is really interesting, can you load up much clearer images please.

 

I have gone through the Daimyo Bukan (Books of ancient Kamon), and cannot find anything remotely like it.

 

Also interesting that they are covered in Egawa (Stencil dyed leather).

 

Always a pleasure to view treasures.

 

:)
