A nanban-do gusoku [armour]
The kabuto signed Saotome
Momoyama - Edo period, late 16th - early 17th century
the fifty-two plate iron bowl with small standing rivets, rising into a five stage copper-gilt tehen kanamono, plain russet iron mabisashi [peak], the fukigaeshi [turnbacks] in gilded leather, the four tiered shikoro [neck guard] of black lacquer and with sugakeodoshi [spaced lacing] in dark blue braid, gold lacquer maedate [forecrest], hitosume kamon [one eye crest], the russet iron mempo [face mask] with detachable nose plate and open mouth, broad yak bristle moustache, silver lacquered teeth, red lacquer interior, three tiered yodaregake [throat protector], the heavy iron hinged do [cuirass], decorated in silver and red overlay with a dragon among crashing waves, the eyes inlaid in gilt, the reverse with further waves, the gold kanamono finely chased and engraved with chrysanthemums and foliate scrolls, all components with spaced lacing in dark blue braid, six tier sode [shoulder guards], chainmail kote [sleeves], seven tassets of five tiered kusazuri [skirt] in gilded leather, the underskirt decorated in a pale green brocade, shino suneate [shin guards], with two armour storage boxes and leather covers, and modern armour stand
This is a rare example of a medieval yoroi. The yoroi is characterized by a cuirass that wraps around the body and is closed by a separate panel (waidate) on the right side and by a deep four-sided skirt. In use from around the tenth to the fourteenth century, yoroi were generally worn by warriors on horseback.
Originally, this armor was laced in white silk and had diagonal bands of multicolored lacings at the edges of the skirt and the sode (shoulder guards, missing here). The colored lacings symbolized the rainbow, which represented both good fortune and fleeting beauty. The breastplate is covered with stenciled leather bearing the image of the powerful Buddhist deity Fudō Myō-ō, whose fierce mien and attributes of calmness and inner strength were highly prized by the samurai.
Traditionally, it is believed that this yoroi was donated to the Shinomura Hachimangū , a shrine near Kyoto, by Ashikaga Takauji (1305–1358), founder of the Ashikaga shogunate.
Maiden flight of my Sode Dako a.k.a. Kimono kite.
Size: 60 x 120cm.
After manyf adjustments of the bridle and line tension of the horizontal spars, it would just stay in the air for a couple of minutes. It wasn't flying very stable and occasionally diving to earth.
Perhaps the wind speed of 30km/h (5Bft) was too strong, even with a 3mtr fuzzy tail.

When you want a good Coke, it seems that Mexican Restaurants have the best Coke around here. None of the other restaurants around here can even come close to having the kind of delicious fizziness that the Mexican Restaurants have.
