Kenshin - costume facts

[wongkk.livejournal.com]

The speculation about You’s appearance in costume at Joetsu beside his lord Gackt-Kenshin reminded me of this picture of Uesugi Kenshin and his page (click for large):

 

The picture is courtesy of Compendium Publishing and is from a book by Mitsuo Kure in which he reconstructs some 45 samurai costumes, both male and female, with the likely arms, armour and other accoutrements, from the mid-Heian (c. 1000) period to the 19thC shinsengumi.  In this post, I’ve used illustrations from Dr Kure’s book to give an outline of the costume and armour which Gackt wears in his role as the 16thC warlord Uesugi Kenshin.
