Samurai-Harnisch, Samurai, Samurai Rüstung
um 1580, Ende 16. Jahrhundert
The gold lacquer emblems showing among others a dragon prove that the armour once belonged to the Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu (1542–1616). He was one of the three »Great Unifiers« of Japan, through which the Sengoku era came to an end and the peaceful Edo period began. Only 13 armours of that kind which were mostly exported to Europe have been preserved in Japan. King Philip II of Spain was offered presents by Toyotomi Hideyoshi in 1584, among others armours, saddles and spears, partly to be seen in the Royal Armoury in Madrid.
