    Samurai Dog Armour

    “This suit of dog armour — identified by antique Japanese armour dealer Toraba.Com as the only known and certified authentic example of its kind — is believed to have been created for the pet of a wealthy, high-ranking and presumably eccentric samurai or daimyo (feudal lord) in the mid to late Edo period (mid-18th to mid-19th century). Although the carved wooden helmet and coat of black-lacquered scale mail would have provided effective protection against enemy attack, evidence suggests the canine never wore the armour into battle. More likely, the suit served as a decorative costume for parades and other formal ceremonial occasions. The samurai dog armour now belongs to an unnamed UK museum.”
