A full-size yoroi armor and samurai armor gusoku executed in a modern historical style, distinguished by saturated color, consistent finish, and uniform construction across components. The ensemble presents a complete visual narrative of samurai form while clearly signaling contemporary manufacture rather than period survival.
The kabuto displays a clean, symmetrical profile with controlled surface finish and decorative fittings intended for visual impact. The absence of irregular rivet rhythm or age-driven asymmetry reinforces the reading of this helmet as modern display armor rather than antique battlefield equipment.
The do (cuirass) and kusazuri articulate the armor’s core through orderly plate stacking and bright lacquered surfaces. Here, color functions as statement rather than patina, producing a suit designed to command attention in interiors, exhibitions, or themed installations.
Supporting elements—including sode, kote, haidate, and suneate—appear present and visually coherent. Uniformity of materials, color, and wear indicates coordinated modern production rather than later assembly from disparate historical parts.
Condition is described as generally good with light wear, minor soiling, and expected handling marks. Such traits are consistent with storage, transport, and controlled display rather than combat use.
For collectors, this yoroi armor occupies the modern-display tier: an accessible, visually powerful samurai armor ensemble suitable for studios, galleries, restaurants, themed venues, or educational settings without the conservation risks associated with antique armor.
