Yoroi 23
From the Nanbokucho Period, the Muromachi Period.
The Nanbokucho Period is 1392 from 1334. It tried to give splendid decoration until the early time of the Nanbokucho Period so that generals might make their existence outstanding. The armor was fitted with mach hardware which was given rich sculpture. They were fitted with the base of kuwagata, the right and left of the kabuto, the sodes, and so on. But, such ornamental hardware stops being used gradually. Hardware of the decoration isn't being used for the armor of the Nanbokucyo Period latter term. Then, that is a practical armor. Generals used a domaru and a haramaki in the battlefield. But, on the other hand, a yoroi was made as best. Or, a yoroi was offered in the shrine to pray for a victory. Therefore, many yorois of this age remain.
