The Japanese Legacy Symposium IV in New York
We would like to take this opportunity to announce that the Japanese Armor Society has booked the next Japanese Legacy Symposium to take place at New York's venerable Metropolitan Museum of Art on Friday, September 13th.
We have chosen this date because for Japanese and Asian art collectors, the week of September 06-14th is a big week, with all of the top auction houses (Sotheby's, Christies and Bonhams) all having their big fall exhibitions and auctions during this time. With any luck, one of these auction houses may even bring back their Arts of the Samurai auctions. We are still in the midst of confirming the curriculum of the symposium itself, but as always we are expecting it to be as revelatory and educational as past editions, with lectures by some of the top scholars in the field of Japanese armor.
Although the symposium is created for the benefit of our members, the invitation is open to non-members by way of a special fee. At this time, costs of the symposium have yet to be finalized and will be determined by overall attendance, but we are asking that if your are interested in attending, to please indicate your interest here, or by sending an email to jas@japanese-armor.org.

Re: The Japanese Legacy Symposium IV in New York
Very nice advert. And a lovely armor, now what can be told about this type of armor, the dou for example, it had the fuji mountain rim which I like very much.

Mischa, the kabuto is a Saotome Ietsugu, wat is not very common. The armor has been made in 1830, ALL pieces (even the shikoro, suneate....) are signed and dated, also quite unusual.

Oh yes, Bas Verberk made the advert, based on a picture by Jan Van Esch.

All the parts are signed by Saotome Ietsugu, including the menpo and dō? I haven't heard of any other menpo or dō - much less armour - signed by a Saotome smith.

Re: The Japanese Legacy Symposium IV in New York
Yes John, all parts are signed and dated, but by the person who assembled the armor, not by Saotome Ietsugu.
