"The Legendary Eight Armor of the Genji"
This is one of the eight armors said to have been passed down through generations as a family heirloom of the Genji clan. Most of it was lost during the Heiji Rebellion, and it is now considered a legendary armor.
This armor is a "shieldless armor," one of the eight armors of the Genji clan. It is the only one of the eight armors still in existence as a national treasure.
It is said that the name "Tatenashi" (meaning "no shield needed") was given to it because it was covered in leather and extremely strong and sturdy.
"Dedicated Armor"
Dedicated armor is a form of armor that a samurai offers to a shrine as a prayer to the gods when his or her wish is granted.
As it is a sacred item offered to the gods, parts that come into contact with human skin (such as the mask, gauntlets, and shin guards) are not attached.
Unlike armor intended for actual combat, it is highly valued as an art and craft, and many were made using the most advanced techniques of the time.
