About This Armor Type
The tōsei-gusoku (当世具足, "modern equipment") is the armor of the late Muromachi, Azuchi–Momoyama, and Edo periods — the armor most associated with the great daimyō of the unification era. It uses solid or banded iron plates (a nimai-dō, gomai-dō, or mogami-dō) laced in close-set kebiki-odoshi, a close-fitting dō, compact sode, and a kabuto often fitted with a maedate (frontal crest) and a mempō (face mask). It reflects the demands of massed infantry and matchlock warfare, and later the ceremonial display of the Edo peace.
