Description

This is vintage Japanese Samurai Yoroi Kabuto set, armour set from early Showa period (1920's-1940's). A Yoroi is a cavalry armor worn by samurai comprising in its basic form a Kabuto (Helmet), Menpo (Face guard), Do (Cuirass) with Kusazuri (multipart skirt pendant) and Sode (Shoulder guarts). It was made using silk material and iron fittings.

This Yoroi set has a family crest, Kamon of Kiri, paulownia on the Do, and has beautiful metalworks. The Kiri family crest is one of the 10 most used emblems in Japan and were seen as sacred trees  because it was beleived that phoenixes only perched on their branches. Because Kiri and Kiku (chrysanthemum) are used for loyal family, those family crests madke more special.

The Kabuto has impressive Maetate (front decoration) shaped in crescent moon and horns on the side.

This yoroi set comes in full set and can be displayed with a wooden stand and sits on the storage box. Excellent home decor.
