Both actually. Plain russetting is more common, but you also find pieces done in seshime urushi. I much prefer russetting on Kabuto and Menpo.  |

Ditto. I love russet menpo, and there's something wonderfully understated about a russet bowl with flat-black shikoro.
There's an armour I saw once in Kozan-do -- russet, with yomogi-ito odoshi. (Looks like the Japanese idea of wood-elf armour in terms of color scheme.)
Years ago I would have thought it looked goofy, but after years of playing with the stuff and... well, reforming my aesthetic... it's become one of my favorite suits. There's something so quintessentially sengoku about it.

Tony i agree. the russet brown gives it a dark, battle hardened look. however if you knew how it was originally done, youd be like "PFFTTT!!! this guys goin down, him and his piss dyed armor!" of course youd prbly be cut down shortly after for stupidly underestimating your opponent. yeah im done. |
