Suit of armour in haramaki or 'belly-wrapping' style. The haramaki type of armour differed from the oyoroi and domaru in that it fastened at the back, the fastening being usually protected by a narrow back plate (sei-ita); the small tapering shoulder-guards are also typical. The helmet of sixty-two plates with standing rivets, decorated in soft metals with the spatulate ornaments called shinodare, is signed by Ietada, a member of the distinguished Saotome family of armourers who was active in the late sixteenth century. The armour as a whole was probably assembled in the mid-nineteenth century, when there was a vogue for accurate reproductions of earlier styles.

An inscription inside the box which holds this suit records that the armour was made for a member of the Akitsuki family of Takanabe in the southern island of Kyushu. However, the family crest on the box does not match the crest on the fukigaeshi.
