Japanese Armor Society Forum

Hello,
here is my "do" armor made up of 5 articulated plates of type "yukinoshita" dragonfly in ushidashi. "my" on "fukigaeshi" "gyôyô" "kou" and "seoibitsu".

Thanks Michel,
A late edo luxury armor. Are the dou or kabuto also signed?

Thank you for showing this, Michel. Can we see some more detail here and there, such as the 'utchidashi', and the 'my' (?) Mon/Kamon (?). What Maedate is that?

more photos

Yes, thank you, Michel. Amazing mae'date'....!

Hi again Michel,

why do you think Kyôgoku clan?

The only reference I could find for this mon was:
Do you have another source, by chance?

hello, to answer "Uwe" the "my" on "bitsu" is identical to those on lle kabuto and the armor, it is indeed the same as that which tiu proposes. The information I have comes from ko ji ho ten, I will try to put photos, as well as one of the disassembled maedate.

So, concerning the income of the daï-Myô, it is just the interesting side .. the "our" is to-zama daï-myô, therefore the owner of a fortified castle (shigeo) or a large property, taking into account income in koku, between 11 and 13,000 (this remains modest since under the TOKU-GAWA, a minimum income of 10,000 koku was required) so I would opt for the fortified castle

maedate, shino suneate

Another interesting point are the kogire, covered with egawa. I haven’t seen this before.
