It features meticulous detailing that captures the essence of historical Japanese armor, blending traditional techniques with high-quality materials for both durability and beauty. The helmet (kabuto) is adorned with a striking kuwagata crest and a dynamic dragon front ornament, set against a beautifully carved peony motif. In Japanese culture, dragons symbolize strength, protection, and prosperity, while peonies are a traditional symbol of bravery and elegance. The cuirass displays an intricate raised dragon emblem, reflecting both the ferocity and artistic craftsmanship synonymous with samurai culture. The armor ensemble includes essential protective elements: the menpo (face mask with neck guard), tassets for the lower body, robust shoulder guards, arm guards, thigh guards with flexibility for knee movement, and shin guards. Constructed with lacquered leather, metal plates, and silk cords, this armor embodies the artistry and practical strength of Japanese martial gear. This is a second-hand armor set in mint condition, apart from the following noted issues: one of the horns on the dragon ornament is partially broken off, but the detached piece is included. One side of the kuwagata is loosely inserted, and one of the slots for the kuwagata broke off and came out with it. A wooden support piece is included. A custom-made wooden storage box is provided for preservation and display. A stand is also included, making it ready for immediate presentation as a compelling piece of Japanese martial history and metalwork artistry. Dimensions of the Box: approx. H 54.5 cm W 41 cm D 41 cm Height on display: approx. 160 cm ・Please make sure to review all the provided information and images before placing your bid. ・We make every effort to accurately represent the product's colors and textures in our photos.
