Samurai Armor

I have owned this armor for many years now. It is about 50 years old and was made in Japan, it was made in the same method as the old armor was. We have lacquered plates that are laced together to make larger pieces and then a complete suit of armor. This one is what you would expect to see on a higher ranking samurai. You can buy one like this or spend 15K on an older suit made the same way. Just as a note, this is Japanese made and not the low grade Chinese armor available these days.
