Midori : Japanese Fine & Decorative Arts
Midori Presents
Original Presentation Script
This formidable samurai armor set, echoing the grandeur of the Edo period, encapsulates both the social structure and aesthetic valor of its time. The kabuto helmet and menpo mask are crafted with thoughtful precision, prevalent in high-status armors. Constructed of metal, silk, and lacquer, the set hints at the ceremonial regalia of a samurai, possibly a feudal retainer. The armor shows expected wear, supporting its age, though expert verification is advised for full authentication. Its cultural resonance and material richness position it between $15,000 to $25,000 if authentic, or $1,000 to $2,000 if a recreation. Thus, it stands as a piece that celebrates the enigmatic honor of the samurai era. A word about copies... Reproductions are frequent in this realm, often used decoratively, echoing the narrative of Japan's warrior history.
