Kyoto, Meiji Period print. – Rekishi Nippon
https://rekishinihon.com/2015/02/05/kyoto-meiji-period-print
Kyoto, Meiji Period print. I have had this print on file for a while but was never able to find the details of it other than it was Kyoto. Thankfully a fellow Japanese history lover found the info. You will see that I have two versions of the print. One is probably the original colourised one while the other you can see has been further enhanced. Thankyou and enjoy this great print.

A brief history of Japanese armour. – Rekishi Nippon
https://rekishinihon.com/2015/05/16/a-brief-history-of-japanese-armour
A brief history of Japanese armour. The tankô was slowly phased out and replaced by a new form of armour which seems to have been inspired by continental models. This new form of armour eclipsed the tankô and set the pattern for the next millennium. The construction was of scale. Since the solid tankô rested on the hips and the new scale armour hung from the shoulders, the historiographical term given to these armours is keikô ( hanging armour ). The Early Middle Ages. Hanging in the front of the armour ...

Shikoku is host to the famous 88 temple pilgrimage. It is said to take up to 3 months to complete the 1200km. The first people to walk the complete route were monks from Mt Koya.
