you bought a nice Japanese helmet, a kabuto. First thing you want to know is who made it, and when.
This is the kind of question witch we try to answer here.
Feel free to ask!

Why Zesai Paul?

Hi Uwe,

At first glance I thought that the hibiki-no-ana was oval-shaped, but upon closer inspection its round, so my mistake, sorry !

This is a Yoshimichi signed kabuto.

Strange Luc - I didn't think Yoshimichi right away. Felt more Saotome, but missing features of both.

Makes sense. Fine kabuto nevertheless.

Since Zesai was brought up, does anyone have an image they can post, I do not remember seeing one.
