A complete suit of old japanese samurai armour Full size,and wearable… I think,vintage 1950-60’s…rather than edo period Uncleaned for many decades,adding to the overall character. Comes with a simple (collapsable travelling) japanese armour stand The nose piece on the mempo is removable included also: is a free armour storage/travelling box that came with another suit
Also : there is a choice of maedate included…all on the arrow flights theme The side and front maedate are removable/interchangable Everything appears strong firm and intact -inshort,all just as it should be ….a handsome smart/casual suit,suitable for job interviews, weddings,or bushido nights out There is some minor fraying to the orange silk binding on the kabuto neck guard….but thats about the only notable issue i can see This is a well made complete suit,each constituent part made with excellent detailing and of a pleasingly high quality altogether very different from the dreadful modern mass produced cheap ‘cartoon-copies’ currently coming out of asia
