Item details

Marutake Workshop, First Generation Mitsunobu, Red Lacquer Contemporary Gusoku Life-Size Armor
A suit of armor produced approximately 50 years ago by Marutake Workshop (now Marutake). Crafted by the armorer Mitsunobu, this red lacquer contemporary gusoku features a robust structure. The breastplate of the armor is adorned with the gold crest of the Asano Takumi-no-kami family. This life-size armor is wearable by adults. It comes with an armor stand and armor box, weighing approximately 25kg (including the armor box). Due to its age, there are signs of wear, dirt, and lacquer damage, but the armor itself has no major damage and remains in good overall condition. The complete set of armor includes accessories.
