Armadura

early–mid-14th century
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 377
Chamado yoroi, este tipo de armadura de cavalaria esteve em uso desde o século X até o século XIV no Japão. Muito poucos Yoroi sobreviveram até hoje e esta é a única de uma coleção americana. Ela pesa 17,3 kg e é composta por centenas de pequenas lâminas de ferro e couro, revestidas com laca e montadas com cordões de seda. No peitoral de couro estampado aparece a imagem da divindade budista Fudo Myo-o, cujas características de ferocidade e imobilidade estavam relacionadas com o código de ética do samurai. Este yoroi foi preservado durante séculos em um santuário perto de Kyoto, tendo sido doado por Ashikaga Takauji, general e governante do Japão e fundador do shogunato Ashikaga.
