First off, Ernst, let’s go over the five (out of six) who were actually described.
1) “A lean heron of a fellow.”
2) a “fat man.”
3) a “ginger-haired young splinter.”
4) a “bald man.”
5) a “fork-bearded fellow with shoulders like a blacksmith’s.” He wore a “too-fine coat,” i.e. one clearly above his station.
None of the six men is bare-chested. The are described as “six ordinary men with swords at their belts, like any man on any street in the city.”
These guys look like extras from a Conan the Barbarian movie. Remember, Ernst, for these guys AND for the Kandori men, their clothing should reflect about 1690-1700 but with Japanese influences. They would not be carrying multiple swords, but rather one each.
Let’s see what he can come up with on another try.
All my best, Jim
