Looking forward to read the meeting report. Could become a complement to the upcoming "Kabuto No Mikata" translation ![Uber Geek :ugeek:](./images/smilies/icon_e_ugeek.gif)

Re: NKBKHK meetng: ko zunari
Beautiful kabuto.
I would be very interested to know the characteristics of an early zunari and how to spot one.
How would a 16th zunari differ from a 17th century example?

Re: NKBKHK meetng: ko zunari
First detail: 6 drillholes on top. Take care: it is easy to fake this on an edo zunari, and often done!

Luc, could you please elaborate what drill holes you mean?

You can faintly see some of the holes in the picture if you look very closely (or maybe I can only because I know they're there!).Luc Taelman wrote: ↑Sat Nov 18, 2017 9:22 pm They have no tehen no ana, but 6 small holes on top of the hachi.

You can clearly see the holes in this example taken at the small exhibition at Odawara castle, which comprises several pieces from one of the senior NKBKHK members.

Re: NKBKHK meetng: ko zunari
Hello Luc, Do you have any idea of the purpose of the 6 drilled holes . I cannot think of any good reason for them unless possibly to secure a fitting for a kashiradate as worn by the Hosakawa in the form of pheasant feathers.Peter
