The Dragon armor faithfully replicates a "byotoji Do Gusoku" from the Edo period which, like many fine armors, incorporates an earlier helmet bowl from the Momoyama period. The European influence on Samura armor is discernible in the slight median ridge to the fron section of the byotoji, okegawa do (breastplate) which, by this period, was designed to deflect musket balls. The plates of the do, with waved edges, are fastened with elaborate shakudo rivets in the form of flowers with gilt centers. This illustrates the Japanses preference for a more flexible style of armor than the typical European one piece breastplate construction. The carrying chest/display seat (hitsu) is black lacquered with the Dragon mon emblazoned in silver on the front panel. Overall, the antiqued patina of the gusoku gives a period appearance and provides a rich addition to any Japanese decor. Our full sized suit of Samurai armor provides a display of outstanding quality for the den or dojo. It is crafted by the armorers of CAS/Hanwei, the armor is authentically detailed and completely realisitic. This very affordable piece is made with traditional styling and materials and is completely wearable (within a reasonable size range). It is supplied in the customary black lacquered box, which along with an included wooden frame, provides the support for the display.
