The cuirass, (called a dō), consisted of two parts. One (the waidate) was a separate defense for the right side and the other part covered the rest of the wearer's trunk. The upper part of the waidate was solid iron plate covered with leather. The lower part was laminated. When dressing for battle, the waidate was put on before the rest of the cuirass and fastened with cords that tied around the body. The rest of the cuirass was also iron plate covered with leather.

Ō-Yoroi first appeared in the 10th Century. Samurai armor being "Wood and Leather" is a complete misconception. Samurai wore Lamellar Armour which was usually a mixture of strips of lacquered leather and iron. The O-Yoroi, for instance, mixed Lamellar and Plate armour.

Okay that mademe giggle a whole bunch. I love it when people poke fun for funs sake!

His full name is, indeed, Nissan Maxima, a poke in the eye for all the Scadian "proper history" nazis. See, because it IS an actual period correct name. His armor's style and coloring are also period correct to a T, but are also blindingly power-rangeresque. He is my role model n the SCA ^_^

That's him! The samurai in red with the oni faceplate! I took a picture with him this year at Pennsic. I think his name is Nissan.
I'm an aspiring Japanese period persona and I'd love to have armor that nice.
I'm sorry for not sharing your views. Perhaps I should follow your example, and be more close minded? Insulting people for not liking what you like is rather shallow, after all..

@r2Kd0ugernaut Because people wrongly assume people will think they will look cool.
