The year 2009 -Naoe Kanetsugu Kabuto of "Ai"

This kabuto is a genuine kabuto as if it could exist in Sengoku period. Using Japanese traditional armor-making technique, an original kabuto of Naoe Kanetsugu is recreated gorgeously.
A front crest is a shape of the Chinese letter "Ai" which is a trademark of Naoe Kanetsugu above the cloud pattern. The letter "Ai" layered with brilliant gold leaf so that it makes a beautiful contrast with cloud layered with oxidized silver leaf. And two side crests are carved wooden parts applied with silver leaf then oxidized on the surface. As the time passes by, the color of them will become more and more profound as the times passes by. For hand-made one by one perfectly, it is impossible to see just same coloring such as mess production. The silver side crests present an exquisite contrast to the front crest with gold and silver leaf. As a result, the kabuto makes unforgettable impressions on people who have ever seen it.
The shape of the helmet is based on energetic molding of Sengoku periodfs kabuto, being achieved by striking real iron plate. It is extremely difficult to strike it with human power, but only by striking iron can generate great tension and elegant curves in detail. As can be observed, the article has both the great design based on the original comics and the genuine function of a real Kabuto with marvelous-balanced molding.

This article represents The Battle of Kawanakajima, a legendary single combat between Uesugi Kenshin and Takeda Shingen.
It is the moment that Kenshin suddenly appeared from a rift in the fog and cut his way into Takeda's headquarters. The artist represents the scene energetically as if there are a real current of air in the painting.
In the painting, Kenshin is springing at Shingen with his horse, and Shingen is waiting for him with great composure. They were lifelong rival, and considered one another to be an influential person. That is the reason why the article itself has sense of romance despite the extremely tense scene.
Katsutoshi Toya is an artist who has described many articles with Sengoku Period theme. It is an impressive scene that vivid red Singen and blue Kenshin appeared from the fog lying over the Hachimanbara. This lithograph substantially replicates the original painting which is creating a unique atmosphere dew to iron powder.
