Edo Period Akoda Nari Kabuto

ERA: Early - Middle EDO

STYLE: 16 plate Akoda Nari Kabuto

REGION: Honshu

SCHOOL:Myouchin


Here is a very nice example of a revival akoda nari kabuto that dates to the early 1700s. There is not much that I can say that the pictures do not say for this piece. It is in simply perfect condition. No scratches, nics, or fading. Several of the seasoned armor experts who have seen this kabuto thought that this piece was a Muromachi period hachi that has been restored in the early 1700s. However, I have seen one nearly identical to it that I believe was made by the same smith which was signed and dated to the early 1700s. I believe this work to be the same, though the liner is unbroken and no signature is currently visible.
