Item Description: This is a highly decorative and historically styled samurai cuirass armor (dō) attributed to Satsuma-jū Kōnin (薩摩住光忍), showcasing a vibrant vermilion red lacquer finish with ornate detailing and fine craftsmanship. The armor is constructed in the traditional nimai-dō (two-piece cuirass) style. Adorned with a golden mon (family crest) on the chest, decorative tassels, and richly laced skirt flaps (kusazuri), this piece evokes the grandeur of high-ranking samurai. The interior lining features a traditional textile with floral patterns, exhibiting natural wear over time. Based on its materials, construction, lacquer style, and preservation condition, this piece is believed to have been made in the late Meiji to Showa period as a ceremonial or display armor, rather than for actual battlefield use. It stands as a fine example of period armor replicas made with respect to historical design aesthetics. Please note: The wooden display stand is not included.
