My Yoroi armor



This suit of armor is one of the most popular Japanese battlefield armors from late 1500's. The helmet is made of 12 hand-crafted iron plates. Each plate has a slightly different figuration and a perfect shaped helmet is created with them. The body armor is also constructed with some iron pieces by an artisan. This body is called the Okegawa that means it has 4x2 iron plates. This armor has a plain onyx black lacquer which represents "integrity" for Samurai warriors.
