Dear All,

The Japanese Armour Society is pleased to announce our next webinar presentation scheduled for Sunday, September 26, 2021 at 15H Paris Time. For this presentation, we have a special guest, Chris Glenn who will be presenting an overview of the Battle of Sekigahara, the largest and most important event in Japanese feudal history. This lecture will include specific examples of armour that was used at this great battle and there will be opportunity for Qs & As.

Chris is also the Sekigahara Tourism Ambassador, the Nagoya Tourism and Cultural Exchange Ambassador, and the Omi Tourism Ambassador. And last but not least, Chris is a collector of samurai armour and weapons. Needless to say, this lecture is an event not to be missed!

Now, now, Jan, you are being wicked!

I don't really know Jan .. I was there and I did not really understand all this gigantic mess ..I was already so tired on these long walks through this damn mountainous country.. the only thing I remember before dying stupidly run over by a horse that fell from the mountain and drowned in this damn small river where I had already waded all morning blocked by the shots of our opponents .. is that the fights were really bad and I said to myself that to get out of this day alive was a very presumptuous idea. see if someone can explain things to me more precisely .. to avoid this tragic end (well mine) next time.
I had been warned of the high quality of the yokinoshita against shooting ..What a bad idea I had to want to recover it from the corpse of my great commander who had just taken a bullet right in the nose ( a great shooter who recognizes officers well by the quality of their armor).. but against mosquitoes and for swimming .. nothing worse..and that day .. even the horses were really nasty...Finally since that cursed and fateful day .. I try to understand ..Sekigahara .. what a joke ! Finally .. in all of this at least I died clean ..
PS : If anyone found my maedate .. I had just bought it .. a gorgeous nanban dragon with red eyes and smoke coming out of the nostrils ?
Ps .. I also lost a suneate in the mud .. I liked it a lot it came to me from my grandfather and dated from the Muromachi period .. the kind of thing difficult to find .. Luc .. you don't do not know where to find one ? I feel quite naked without him .. in the paradise of stupidly dead warriors..
Jan .. just a question .. do you believe in reincarnation? well .. well my favorite animal was the dragon .. so obviously that poses some problems for me now...and if anyone wants to go back to the late 16th century (like a time machine) to create the air mattress .. I'm particularly interested...Dirty rice fields.

Webinar ID and passcode supplied, but then they ask for email address and a ‘password’. If you’ve lost your password again, as I did, you’ll have to create a new one, again, which could take up to 20 minutes to do.

Forewarned is forearmed!

I've adjusted the settings so you should be able to just join by clicking the link. Fingers crossed.
