Remarks: This suit is original and all matched. The paulownia crest is found on the mabizashi, dou, kote, haidate and suneate cloth. The lacing is intact and in very nice condition. The bitsu is matching as well. The fukigaeshi are very unusual and fashioned from wood and covered with lacquer and silver (Ginpaku). The underside of the ears feature a Buddhist Sanskrit character (Bonji). The "ears" are original as the mountings feature the same Ginpaku trim (fukurin) as the dou and sode.
