Item Details

Description

Late Edo period. At the inside the cuirass is dated and signed in red: Ã¢â‚¬Å“eleventh month of Ansei 3 (1856)Ã¢â‚¬Â and Ã¢â‚¬Å“Yamamoto JÃ…Â«noshinÃ¢â‚¬Â (a person with this name, written with these characters, is known to have taken part in the Boshin War of 1868-1869 between the ruling Tokugawa shogunate and those seeking to return political power to the imperial court). A dark yoroi with traces of gilding with very dark blue cords and a five-piece cuirass with vertical lamella. The suit is topped by a large edoboshi-shaped helmet with a four-piece neck guard. The black facial mask protects the whole face while chin and neck are protected by the gorget. Each shoulder has a 5-lamella guard. The sleeves are armored with Japanese chainmail and five vertical metal strips. The kusazuri (the Ã¢â‚¬Å“skirtÃ¢â‚¬Â hanging from the cuirass) has horizontal lamella and the cuisses has metal karuta-plates. These retain their gilding as do the metal suneate that protect the lower legs. Offered with its probably original plain wooden store-box for a suit-of-armor. Condition: Complete, good, displays very well.
