If not, another full quiver that he'll pack, and maybe stash somewhere before entering combat-likely places, if the encumbrance is high. Otherwise the sheet looks good.

Sorry that I'm just eyeballing this, I'm not sure what the conversions are or exactly which equipment to select for each thing.

I think you said upthread that samurai already get good quality daisho. Ezo will complete the set with a quality tanto (dagger at -18s, if I'm reading that correctly).

He probably has a spear and armor at home, but wouldn't be traveling with it, so we'll leave that out.
He definitely needs a bow and a full quiver. We'll say the hankyu half-bow… which type would that translate to?

with 18 STR and 3rd level bow skill, you can use either 3-man Han-Kyu (damage is 1d6 [+2 vs armor]) or 2-man Dai-Kyu (1d6 [+3 vs armor])

An adventurer's kit (-5s), some rope (-5s), a lantern (-20s), and 12 hours of oil (-6s) would be packed away on the horse.

Other than that, I think the stuff he already has seems fine. He would keep the rest of his money carefully tucked away in a couple of inro belt boxes and his porter's trunk.

I'll have to price out inro... Land of the Rising Sun probably has a price...

How much rope?

Could you help me interpret these tables? I don't think I'm reading them correctly.

In Cold Iron Samurai Adventures I'm seeing this for tanto: Cost 3 silver, Qual 9 silver. (I'm assuming silver only because the core Cold Iron document says all prices are given in silver).

with 18 STR and 3rd level bow skill, you can use either 3-man Han-Kyu (damage is 1d6 [+2 vs armor]) or 2-man Dai-Kyu (1d6 [+3 vs armor])

I'll take the hankyu, so I don't have to worry quite as much about taking into to tight places.

How much rope?

Let's say classic 30' of hemp, if I can afford it (30 copper / 1 silver by Bushido prices)
