This impressive full armor set from the early Edo period features a robust iron construction coated with black lacquer. The set includes a 5-plate iron do (torso armor), showcasing both functional and high-quality craftsmanship, likely worn by a samurai of considerable status. The kabuto (helmet), while unsigned, has a distinctive shape and age typical of the early Edo period, suggesting possible use in battle. The set shows signs of wear, including peeling lacquer and some cut threads, and may require restoration. The kusazuri (tasset) is currently detached but can be reattached. A wooden armor box (yoroi-bitsu) is included for storage. This rare set is an extraordinary piece of early Edo period samurai history.
