This suit of armor was owned by the 7th lord of the Yanagawa Domain. The date written on the inside of the helmet tells that this armor was created when he was 27 years old.
The cuirass was constructed with five plates that are bound together vertically. It was worn wrapped around the body and fastened on either side. There are many similarities between this armor and the 4th lord’s armor in its motifs and techniques.
