Beautifull Nodowa for sale

[Leen]

I am offering this beautifull Nodowa on behalf of a good friend. On a FB sales group for Japanese armour she wrote the following text: Up for sale €3200 plus shipping.

I'm selling a beautiful Kon-Susogo-Odoshi Nodowa. I bought is as a reference to making a nodowa by myself (a nice little assignment David Thatcher gave me to understand the intricacy of all the curving).

Now it has served its purpose and it can move on to a new owner.

Information about the piece:

Kon-Susogo-Odoshi Nodowa

* Period

Azuchi-Momoyama Period (A.D.1573~1602)

Finishing : Edo period (A.D.1603~1867)

* Kozane

It is constructed in iron Kozane and leather Kozane.

* Nara-Kozane

This Kozane was made by an armor maker in Nara prefecture from the late Muromachi period to Azuchi Momoyama period.

It looks very fine and elaborate.

Some Busho were fond of it very much, because it is a troublesome work and looks delicate and elegant.

* Condition

in good condition.

I've bought this item in Japan. Please PB for more information.
