Browin,

I know nearly nothing about Japanese armour, but I've been to the Met's armour exhibits, and I know I have photos of everything there, including one shot of every japanese piece there.

Here's a link to my photos from the Met. Hope it helps. Good luck! Post pics!

However, my reasoning may be flawed because I draw my parallels from SCA rapier rather than SCA armoured; add to that I'm not trying to be a Knight. So take this as you will. Sir Ulrich says, be uncompromising. Achi...
