Trying to contact Anthony J. Bryant

Does anyone know how to contact Anthony Bryant, aka Baron Edward of Effingham, aka Hiraizumi TÃƒÂ´rokurÃƒÂ´ Tadanobu?
I'm in his old haunt, the Far West, and would like to ask his advice for a few A&S projects, as he is widely respected for his knowledge of Things Japanese. I'm going to enter next year's A&S Coranet Tourney, and feel sure that my projects would benefit from his advice.
Many thanks.

Corrius.

Corrius, Did you try to e-mail him from the address on his webpage? To be honest Tony NORMALLY gets 100's of e-mails from folks a week. I suspect recently that has increased. :wink:

If it's armour related I might be able to help, AND I'm much closer.

I'm in Japan if you'd like to talk...but my knowledge of Samurai armour consists of viewing "The Last Samurai"....

I'd no idea the man got so much email. I mean, I knew he was well-respected, but...
Been trying to get ahold of him for a while, but as he never replied I figured he might have changed his address or my messages weren't making it through a filter.

Well, some of it's armor - some of it's garb - some of it is Other - need five projects for the Coranet tourney, doncha know.

Have you heard of any period & documentable case of a Sendai-do (guess which city I'm in?) with the pigeon-breast crease down the front?

There's a beauty of a kit for sale up the street in an antique shop - a steal at Y1.5M, I was thinking about trying to pass it off as my own work, but it has the 'pierced nipples' thing that says "EDO!" so I guess I'll just have to make my own. Ha-ha.*

*Note to any possible future judges for the Coranet Tourney: This was an attempt at humor. This was ONLY an attempt at humor. If I were going to cheat, I think Bribery would be much more in period.

Yo!

How can I help?

(What have you been titling the e-mails you sent me?)

Just a quick question. Would this be by any chance Cory, spartan type dud, owner of a large round shield formaly known as the "death star" and wielder of an almost pneumatic powered short spear?

Might you be the gentle in red to the left in this pic?

You got it. The spartan himself.

Bribery would be cheaper, too.

Rainald,
Yes, 'tis I. 'Though now, on the odd occassion I get to fight, I'm usually seen in a beautiful Forth haubergeon, and the helm on the right, middle row, in your "All of them" pic. Of course, you can see that I'm out of Tokyo now, and looking to add another suit to the War-drobe.
How have you been? Any chance of seeing you at Pennsic, '05?

Brother in arms, well met, it's been awhile. Glad to see the helm is still pf some use. Pennsic 05 looks good, this year is right out. Life has been a Dickens novel since the return to the land of the Big Gulp (best of times, worst of times) Email me for details. Good luck in the Coronet tourney.

Lord Effingham,
Since your reply, I sent you one called "From Corrius in Sendai, re: Armour Archive". Can't remember the older ones.
Thanks for your kind assistance.
