Provenance: Fabrizio Savi collection, acquired in 2000 from Nihonto, Fred Weissberg.
In the accompanying expertise, Fred Weissberg reports that this armour shows stylistic features appreciated by the samurai in the service of Date Masamune (1567-1636), feudal lord (daimyō) of the Sendai province; he also put in evidence that the helmet is older than the rest of the armour, exalting the beauty of the decoration on the cuirass. On the silk there is an inscription which refers to the sixth year of the Shōhei period (1346-1370), namely 1351-2.
