Armour and weaponry defined the samurai’s authority on the battlefield and their role as a judge and law-maker. This complete, matching set of armour was made in the 1700s and produced for a member of the powerful Mori family – samurai lords based in western Japan. During this time Japan was largely at peace, so this armour was more for ceremonial occasions than for use in battle. It was a beautifully decorative ensemble of finely crafted materials, including metal, lacquer, textile, leather and horn.

Our conservators have been hard at work getting this imposing suit ready for display – find out what it took to restore this amazing object back to its former glory via the link in our bio.
You can see this stunning suit of armour in our newly refurbished Mitsubishi Corporation Japanese Galleries.
