This suit of armor is a reproduction of a suit from the Warring States period (1467-1573) based on thorough historical research by armor craftsmen. The Warring States period (1467-1573) was a time when powerful warlords held sway in various parts of Japan, and many battles were fought throughout the country. The powerful warlords of various parts of Japan were also known as Warring States Daimyo, and they ruled the regions they controlled by creating their own laws. The Warring States period lasted for around 100 years, but eventually the forces of Oda, Toyotomi and Tokugawa emerged to unify the whole of Japan, and under the shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu, the course of history shifted to the Edo period (1603-1868), a period of peace that lasted for around 260 years.
