Hanbō inquiry - Iwai school?


Jesper

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I would like to ask your opinion on this Hanbō. It has rather pronounced cheeks and smooth lines and if of four-piece construction with a four-step Yodare-kake throat guard. The lower part with a very huge Ase nagashi no ana drain hole under the chin is riveted to the upper part. The drain hole is 16 mm in diameter. The ear protections are decorated with a pierced design and are also riveted. The metal is rather thin and the edge along the cheeks and mouth has a slightly raised rim. Please see the photos' for details.

 

With best regards and thank you in advance.

Jesper

Hi Jesper,

 

unfortunately there is no similar publication as far as I know. Nevertheless, take this book with a grain of salt….

 

Thomas,

with “older” I mean the first half of the Edo period! No chance to be pre Edo, as Luc mentioned.

 

Let’s do some analysis 🧐
