Akoda Nari Kabuto

ERA: Muromachi Period

STYLE:12 Plate Akoda Nari kabuto with Itamono shikoro  (Hampo and Large Maedate included but not pictured)

REGION:Central Honshu

SCHOOL: Haruta


Here is a very beautifully preserved example of an akodanari kabuto. it is completely in deep dark russet iron patina. The hachi is completely a Muromachi period akoda nari and has the original koshimaki (bottom plate wrap) which many akodas have lost due to the changing styles of the shikoro in the years following the era in which akoda nari kabuto were produced. The current itamono (solid plate) shikoro is a modern addition which was likely done by Nishioka sensei (one of the top three armor smiths in Japan). Unfortunately I forgot to add a picture of the very nice hampo and Maedate that are included with this kabuto. The maedate is a big folding gilt copper crescent moon. This kabuto has been in several of the top collections in Japan including members of the shinsa team.
