Yoroi 1
A Yoroi
So that an armor can protect a body on the occasion of the battle. Such a protector will exist in the world. A purpose is the same with a Japanese Yoroi,too. However, a Yoroi is very beautiful, and it is evaluated high as a work of art. The generals who faced a battle investigated a function in the armor. But,why is it to give a Yoroi a beautiful color and a pattern? When a generals' armor is seen, it feels that they who faced death in the battlefield were looking for beauty seriously. Generals are dressed brilliantly to show off a manly figure. It feel that figure to be brave. It thinks about a life and death at the same time.
