I really like them. Are the standards fixed on steel or brass rods, or are they cast together with the miniatures? |

Very nice indeed! Toyotomi Hidetsugu's standard and the sashimono of your hatamoto #3 are the same thing. These are 'gohei'. Poles decorated with shide (zigzagging paper streamers) used in Shinto rituals.
link This is how the actual standard or sashimono may look like:

Well done on how you've sculpted this intricate part. What you've done for Hideyoshi's 'kagemusha' was something I had also planned on. Including a version with a golden horo. Much later I was able to get photos of one of the armour with a clear shot of the back of the armour. This particular one did not have attachments to hold a sashimono or horo. As armour that was also supposed to be a Hideyoshi 'decoy', Hideyoshi would not be wearing a sashimono anyway. Instead it had an agemaki bow in the back. I don't have photos of the other identical copies, so I can't say the others also don't have sashimono holders. Nice choice for Hideyoshi's armour. In one Taiga drama, I think it was 'Dokugan Ryu'. I remember a scene of an unarmoured Date Masamune presenting himself to Toyotomi Hideyoshi who was wearing that particular armour with the kabuto on display stand behind Hideyoshi. Again, very well done. |

thanks evalerio, i have since found out about gohei thanks for the link though. with regard the kagemusha, i also though about horo but settled on that sashimono from the scrolls i thought i could double him as a courier, but i confess i have not seen the back of the armours in question. regarding hideyoshies armour, i picked that one because most people use the sunburst helmet one, but i think this one looks better with its extravigant kabuto and with fabric under bare metal armour. but not many companies have made hideyoshi anyway. cheers |
