Description<\/strong><\/span>
\n\u00a0This item is the Do (\u80f4, cuirass). In a time of war, guns and spears appeared on the battlefields where Naginata (\u8599\u5200, pole weapon) and bows and arrows were the primary weapons. In that tendency, it was necessary to create a stronger cuirass than conventional ones in order to protect the body from the attacks of such highly penetrating weapons. Until then, the mainstream structure was made up of Kozanes (\u5c0f\u672d, small iron or leather plate) joined together. However, a new type of cuirass was invented following the demands of the times. This type of cuirass is called the Itamono Do (\u677f\u7269\u80f4) and is composed of large iron plates. Since it has an inadequately flexible structure, iron plates could be split and connected with hinges. Mass production became more accessible as the manufacturing process was simplified compared to the work of pasting together many small plates. It makes sense that this simple and sturdy type of armor became mainstream when bottles were escalating.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Kusazuri (\u8349\u647a, a skirt of plates attached to a cuirass) parts are tied with purple threads. Six pieces are connected to the cuirass. You see that a letter is designed on this cuirass. It is a kind of Bonji (\u68b5\u5b57, Sanskrit); however, we are unsure about the meaning of this character. In the Edo period, some Samurai favored designing religious symbols to show their beliefs. We estimate this Bonji is possibly related to one of these ideas.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u3010How To Preserve Antique Samurai Armor\u3011<\/strong><\/span>
\nDryness, humidity, and bad ventilation might deteriorate the condition of antique Samurai armor. The best temperature to preserve Samurai armor is around 20\u2103 in Celsius, and humidity should be about 60%.\u00a0 Direct sunlight should be avoided. We recommend storing armors in a room with good ventilation. If you like to display them outside the boxes for a prolonged time, we suggest using a glass case in order for dust not to be accumulated easily. In case you don’t use a glass case, please make sure to regularly dust off\u00a0 from the armor by using a soft brush made of delicate cloth or brush for painting.<\/span><\/p>\n
