"Togoku no Bugu" Illustrations

A series of illustrations I did for this article: "Tōgoku No Bugu (東国の武具): Study Notes An essay on the gear of a Samurai from the Tōgoku regions during the Tenshō era" about the armors worn by samurai from the Eastern regions of Japan, during the late Sengoku Period.

A run down explaining a bit every piece:
The cover: It represents a samurai, clad in a Kantō Go Mai Dō, with a Suji Bachi Kabuto, long hinged sode, plated haidate and a fully enclosed kote. Has a katana and wakizashi at his obi. This is the armor represented in all the illustrations, although with small variations.

On Horseback: The samurai, on horseback, as it was the military doctrine of the eastern regions. The horse is also fully armored, to fulfil a heavy shock cavalry role. The horse armor is made, most of the time, of lacquer hardened buffalo rawhide and metal. The main variations are the helmet, a zunari kabuto, and the sword, this time a tachi.

Front and back, details: It shows a front and back view of a samurai, clad in a Kantō Go Mai Dō, with a Suji Bachi Kabuto, long hinged sode, plated haidate and a fully enclosed kote. No difference with the armor in the cover, but the sword is, again, a tachi.

Kogusoku: This illustration represents the same samurai as the others, but without the main armor, showing the auxiliary armor: kote (arm armor), haidate (upper leg armor), suneate (greaves), and wakibiki (armpit plates)

Front and back b/w: A black and white version for the appendix of the paper

On horseback b/w: A version without the maedate (helmet crest) and the sashimono. Done for the appendix and to show the armor without the decorations
