I would also like to add that not all adults posess great handwriting. Compared to my Father's my handwritting is like a child's and yet I am a slopy 55 year old.

Well that is interesting information, Finally a straight answer instead of having it shot down over its authenticity

Have for example a look at: ”¼“Z,’…•¨,Õ‚è—p•i,‚悳 ‚±‚¢ˆß‘•‚ÌŒƒˆÀ»ì,’ʐM ”Ì”„u–Ø“ì“°v (BOKUKAN-DO) in the
section room-decoration: hachimake tenugui. With a little washing, dirt and
tea or coffee you soon have an old one! But...the lettering!

sorry, look on Google for BOKUNAN-DO

Sorry Wiihelm I have no Idea what you are saying....

He is trying to tell you that you could buy a new one stain it with tea (for examlpe) and it would be a good fake. Very helpful! Here is another photo... But wait! maybe someone photo shoped it!

I intended to show a website from Japan where dresses and accessoiries are being sold
for stage or whatever occasions. When I typed in the name for the website it did not appear,
but only got this blabla.........
If you Google: Bokunan-Do a site will appear as shop-japan etc. Look there and you see
what they all have to sell other then the mentioned new-types of headbands.

It was just meant as a hint and yes mr. morgan knows what I meant. This trick to give
an antique view or patina is as old as the devil and was often used by European dealers
many, many years ago. Including the holes for stitching, just a joke. New sewn onto
cloth, washed various times, put into the dirt and the TR or whatever insignia looked as
old as it could be! Overhere in my country - the Netherlands - we joked that there were
even dealer's growing moths and moth-eggs for this purpose.

Some nice Japanese headbands in wear are shown. Great!
