Fireman's jacket, plastron and sash
Not on view
This set of garments was for a samurai firefighter. It is made of a very delicate and finely woven silk; inside the right sleeve is a partial seal in black ink that reads kinu Echi, possibly referring to this cloth as a product of Echigo province.
The family crest here is paired fronds of Japanese ginger (myoga) belonging to an unidentified family.
