These striking pieces pay homage to the aesthetic and design of historical Samurai armor, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich martial arts heritage. Expertly crafted, the Kote feature a base of silk brocade fabric, adorned with intricate floral patterns that exemplify Japanese artistic tradition. The fabric provides a luxurious backdrop to the hardened iron plates that mimic the protective structure of authentic Samurai gauntlets. Laced with golden-hued cords, these Kote capture the essence of traditional Japanese armor design. As with any vintage item, these Kote bear the marks of their age, with fabric discoloration and some scratches to the iron. These imperfections only add to their charm, reflecting the passage of time and the unique history of each piece. To fully appreciate the intricacies of these remarkable decorative armored sleeves, please take a moment to examine the accompanying images. Dimensions of a Kote: approx.
