East Asia, Japan, Edo period, ca. 1603 to 1868 CE. A wonderful set of samurai armor consisting of hammered iron plates (tsurubashiri) covered in dark-brown lacquer (urushi) and with braided shoulder cords demonstrating how the back plate would have been attached. Covering the back is a kusari gusoku (also kusariguzoku, literally "chain armor") with a fabric shirt beneath the layer of interconnected iron chain links, and a chain-link-covered fabric panel was meant to protect the back of the neck. Included is a pyramidal foot soldier hat called a jingasa (literally "war hat") formed from eight overlapping iron panels joined with rivets and covered in brown lacquer, and the underside is lined with hemp cloth and additional brown lacquer. Size of largest (chest armor): 15.25" W x 24.5" H (38.7 cm x 62.2 cm); 19.375" W x 40" H (49.2 cm x 101.6 cm) with hat on included custom stand.
