A fantastic armour of loosely tied plates. It resembles a
Karasu tengu, a mythical bird. |
| The armour of the momoyama peroid despite the fancier
design to the right which came a little later was for the most part
practical. It was efficient simple and robust. |
 |
| Here we have a very practical, solid breast plate to
protect the samurai from the ball, arrow and sword. |

This helm was for a higher ranked leader. Not very
practicle, but it sure does make him look important. |
| Here armour in do-maru style with extremely large shoulder
gaurds(sode). |

Momoyama Armour was by no means as colourful as the older
styles. The armour was normally laquered black or brown. |
