Tomegawa

Is the tomegawa (used to rigidly lock individual lames together) used in the sode, kusazuri, and/or shikoro as well as in the do or is this a do only thing?

And is this more prevalent in older dos (o-yoroi, do maru, haramaki) than tosei, the other war around, or equally common in both?

Thanks

* edited to add the second question

Ron,

I don't THINK so, as most of the other armour pieces are meant to be flexible. I could be very wrong, Effingham is the real expert here...

Tomegawa are only used on the do.
