This is not yet the finished version of the armor; I’m just starting to work on the sizing. I’d love to hear your opinion #ninjawarrior #katana #bushido #shinigami #samuraitattoo #samuraihelmet #samuraiarmor #ghostoftsushima #cosplay | Workshop RS | Facebook

Samurai warriors, who ruled Japan from the twelfth to the nineteenth century, wore armor to protect themselves during battles. Samurai armor developed during the Heian and Kamakura periods, and went through several design changes corresponding with the ways battles were fought. Armor in the video is from the Edo era (19th century) Sources: Absolon, Trevor. Samurai Armour: Volume I: The Japanese Cuirass.
