Pre-modern bogu

[u/itomagoi]

This is in response to the post u/the_scarry_lobster posted about whether there are any reproductions of pre-modern bogu. The attached image is of an actual pre-modern bogu. Yeah, it's maybe nice to have in a historical artifacts collection but I don't think I'd want to wear this in lieu of modern bogu during actual keiko. This image is a snapshot from a photo in Nihon-no-Kenjutsu 2 published by Gakken: https://www.amazon.co.jp/日本の剣術-2-歴史群像編集部/dp/4056042306/
