Thank you for viewing! m(._.)m This is a guide to a complete suit of armor from the "Kounin" brand, created by armor maker "Shinobu Tanoue," the founder of "Marutake Koubou," which has created numerous movie props, NHK historical dramas, and even the Japanese helmet for Major League Baseball player Shohei Ohtani ♡. ◯ [Go-san no Kiri Mon (Paulownia Crest)] Front Decoration, Iron-made, Black-lacquered Helmet With understated decoration, it has a practical, contemporary appearance. ◯ Black-colored Do-Tosei Sugake Kon-ito Odoshi Hon-kozane Gusoku (Black-lacquered Body, Contemporary Style, Navy Blue Thread Laced, Authentic Small-plate Armor) This is a contemporary style of armor, representing the final evolution of Japanese armor. It features the Go-san no Kiri Mon, creating a dignified atmosphere, while incorporating a kosode (short-sleeved garment) for a more practical and functional design. It is very easy to move in. The navy blue color, once known as deep hanada, is an elegant dark blue obtained by repeatedly dyeing with indigo. Indigo dyeing has insecticidal and antibacterial effects, giving it a meaning of warding off evil, and some national treasure armors still exist. ※ Go-san no Kiri Mon (Paulownia Crest) The Go-san no Kiri Mon is now called a common crest, but the paulownia crest during the Azuchi-Momoyama and Edo periods was a very noble crest. Even today, many people who use the Go-san no Kiri Mon have ancestors who were of samurai rank or higher. I envy those with the paulownia crest. The helmet, body, and chains are all made of iron; the kuwagata (helmet ornament), front decoration, and decorative metal fittings are brass-plated; the armor stand and armor box are wooden; and the helmet joints and lacing are all handmade. The material cost alone is said to be over 700,000 yen at today's market prices. "Note" This item has only been displayed and has never been worn. Although it is over 50 years old, it is in very good condition. It is almost like new. I haven't seen such a beautiful item like this very often! However, as it is a very old item, please consider that there may be some repairs. Even today, it is popular for bringing good luck to the family, warding off evil, and emulating the way of life of a warrior. It is a masterpiece that gives a sense of overwhelming power and presence. ※ It can be worn by an adult male (180cm / 5'11")! As an image, I will include a picture of a "similar body armor" that I wore before, although it may not be the most flattering. ※ I am 167cm (5'6") tall. Also, for those considering attending festivals like Soma Nomaoi or cosplay \(//∇//)\, or for those looking for a May doll this season, how about a real, life-size one? I'm sure it will be a hit!! Also, it all fits in the armor box in the photos, making storage compact. ※ The [armor stand] is included, but the [helmet stand] is not included. Thank you for your consideration m(._.)m
