About The armor:

It Comes with certificate of SupeinNihonto.

Beautiful and uncommon early-middle Edo period gusoku armor consisting of black lacquered Zunari kabuto accompanied with a magnificent menpo probably made by the Myochin school due to its high quality, in iron matching the rest of the armor. The red lacquered do contains the family clan symbol (mon), the shoulder pads are also rare and remain together with the cote or arms. A very rare armor, original and of great beauty that will not leave anyone indifferent, especially for those looking to add a piece out of the ordinary to your collection as it denotes great personality.

As is normal in a suit of armor with so much history, which was undoubtedly used for combat and is not a mere reproduction of the 20th century, it has some superficial scratches, surface damage and chips that show that it had a long life of combat and retains an authentic and precious historical value worthy of a museum. This exclusive piece is making it an incredible opportunity for any collector of Japanese, war or simply historical art to get their hands on a piece that will attract attention wherever it is displayed, from offices, to private homes, offices or restaurants and will give a regal look to any place. The armour has gilded details that show the quality of the piece. The incredible workmanship accentuates such ornate pieces as the kabuto, the mempo and the Do. The stand to assemble it and the box are included. This armour is sure to delight any collector of Asian art and will be the focal point of any visitor’s home, shop or office. There is a very ancient object and there are damaged by time and tears. Due to the delicacy of continuous assembly and disassembly, returns are not allowed on old armor.
