Miki Castle Attack Armor

1 / 1

Description

This item is a relic awarded to Takada Chozaburo for his achievements in battle. Although it shows significant wear with a detached shoulder piece that requires repair, it can still be displayed as shown in the photos. Due to its age, the threads are delicate and can break upon contact. Originally, it was completely covered in gold leaf. The helmet is made of leather, but as a prized possession, it appears to have been quite magnificent in its time. If you prefer, I can provide modern horns to attach. The armor box is not included, and it comes as a set. It was found among horse tack and household goods in our lower estate and might have connections to the Awaji Castle attack. If you are satisfied with the above description, please place your bid. (Note: No claims or returns accepted.)

Collector Commentary

The Miki Castle Attack Armor, a significant relic from Japan's military history, carries immense value not just for its historical context but also for its direct association with Takada Chozaburo's valorous achievements. Collectors of Japanese militaria often seek out items that showcase authentic craftsmanship, particularly ones with notable wear that tell a story, providing a glimpse into the past. The use of gold leaf and the unique construction methods indicative of the era enhance its desirability, yet the delicate condition, marked by significant wear, underscores the importance of careful preservation. In the current market, the starting bid of ¥2,300,000 reflects the rarity and historical significance, appealing to serious collectors who appreciate not only the aesthetic but also the legacy behind the artifact.
