Item details

Late Warring States Period to Azuchi-Momoyama Period Samurai Battle Armor Iron Armor with Armor Box and Sleeves

This piece is a gusoku armor set from the late Warring States Period to the Azuchi-Momoyama Period, also present in the Edo Period. It is an armor with a cuirass and sleeves, accompanied by an armor box. Traces of actual battle wear can be seen on the back of the cuirass and inside the armor box. The cuirass is made of iron with leather components in the kusazuri, and both sleeves are completed in iron. Since the Nanboku-cho period, it has been improved for lightness and ease of movement, becoming popular in battle form. As a defensive armor, it still retains its weight. This period's samurai armor has endured for hundreds of years, still existing in this form today, though it bears many damages due to the wear and tear over the years.
