【Product details】

A historical martial artifact, this pair of authentic Samurai armored sleeves (Kote) from the Edo period encapsulates the valor of Japan's iconic warriors. Crafted to shield the forearms and hands, these sleeves are composed of durable iron plates and chainmail meticulously linked to a fabric backing.

These sleeves have weathered the passage of time, bearing signs of historical use and the rigorous demands of Samurai warfare. Notably, both sleeves have areas where the fabric and metal fittings have detached, revealing the raw edges and the time-honored techniques used in their original assembly.

Prospective collectors can inspect the detailed images to evaluate the craftsmanship and condition of these Kote. While they display fabric discoloration, metal rust, and thread wear, they remain a captivating connection to the Samurai tradition, exemplifying the blend of functionality and craftsmanship of ancient Japanese armor.

Dimensions of a Kote: approx. H 70 cm W 22.5 cm D 1 cm
