| A gorgeous Later Edo period black lacquered battle armor featuring a large red crest of three linked hexagons on the chest-plate, and a single red hexagon on the helmet. The suit consists of a Zunari-kabuto with three tiered Shikoro, the lower two tiers of which are lacquered in a lightly brown color. The mask is a wide jawed hanpo with four tier throat defense. The Do is an Okegawa Ni-Mai-Do with six rows of Gessan scales, retaining the original leather liner. The Sangu are all matching on indigo dyed hemp, the white leather of the Suneate matching the leather on the protective collar. The Sode are attached in the Bishamon style to the armored sleeves. There is only one issue to note with this suit, and that is the top row of scales has been removed, for unknown reason, from the Kawara Haidate. Otherwise it is perfect, and a stunning example of later Edo Battle Armor. | |||||||||||||
