Looks like a Sunpak shoe-mounted flash with a LumiQuest softbox (there are a variety of shoe-mounted, battery operated flash guns available).

To use a shoe-mounted flash with your Toyo, you will need a mounting shoe(no need for one with electrical contacts), and a PC cord.

Just make sure that your shutter is capable of X sync and has a PC plug.
