armour parts in his body, arms, legs and head was made by putting many layers of leather in one piece, made it strong and very agille, some theories are that kind of armor was woren only at ceremonial duties (there was a lot ceremonials in samurai regime) and the actual battle armor was less decorative in colors and cloth.more in period before15-16. century.
