Samurai, Samurairüstung
um 1580, Ende 16. Jahrhundert
The armour shows two red letters which can be read as »to get to the right of reign from heaven«. They could go back to Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537–1598), a man of lower social rank who became souvereign in Japan, to show his legitimacy. Samurai armours are already recorded in the 1607–1611 inventory of the Prague Kunstkammer of Emperor Rudolf II. However, the two armours shown here came via Brussels to Franzensburg in Laxenburg near Vienna only in 1794 and finally were transferred to Ambras Castle in 1880.
