Ok, looks like “tsuta” on “jigami” (Ivy on a fan paper)!

I’ve just received a huge mon book (about 1300 pages) and by chance found your mon. As soon as I know how to handle it, I can give it a try, if you like.....

In advance Gary!

 

"Chû kage jigami ni tsuta" (no warranty)

Admittedly, the quality of the pictures are rather bad, but it works. Should be your mon, isn't it. First glance, it seems related to "Hamada or "Makibuchi" family (if I get the names right?!). I have to translate the rest later on....

(or somebody with better reading skills is faster than me here 😉)

The problem with the lesser known families is, that it will be hard to research, due to the lack of accessible records....

It's mostly based on guesswork to assigning a family to a specific mon, without other hints concerning the pedigree of a piece....

So to close the case (also by the seemingly lack of interest). The text is pointing to the "陸前国..." (Rikuzen province). Former part of "陸奥" (Mutsu) in the Tôhoku region!

 

Anyway, great armor!
