Looks very good and a good amount of progress so far Steve.Setobeaoc were a prominent clan in Momoyama Japan allied to the Tokugawa.This looks like the leader of the main branch of the family,based in Harima Province.His name was Setobeaoc Harima no Kami Ichiro ( tried to make the matter a little lighter,hope you do not mind Steve).I will keep following.Keep posting .

I would think about a wash over the cords perhaps
Going to look very impressive
Enjoy the benchtime
