A Royal Japanese do-maru style armour. Of black lacquered steel, with blue cotton lacing and shakudo decoration of a cherry tree, applied to various pieces. The helmet with gilt-bronze decoration in the centre of pierced cherry foliage and a gilt-bronze finial.

The black lacquered low rounded helmet with standing rivets finely mounted with gilded and silvered copper and shakudo with a three-lame small rounded neckguard. The peak is mounted with a holder for the ornamental crest and 'horns'. A signature appears in two gold lacquered cartouches on the underside of the peak (signature not read).

The cuirass is of do-maru style (opening on the right side but having no hinges), constructed with true lamellae as are the eight tassets. Two cord protectors (sendan and kyubi-no-ita) are attached the front. With black lacquered iron sleeves (tsutsu gote), black laced iron thigh defences (hakama haidate) and black lacquered iron shin guards (shino suneate).

The half mask is of simple ryubu style with standing flanges on the cheeks lacquered grey-brown, with a throat defence of lamellae. There is a separate throat defence (nodowa) of lamellae.

The whole armour is laced in mid-blue close lacing with the cross knots on the lower plates in mauve. The sleeves, thigh and shin guards are mounted on pale blue brocade. Finely mounted with gilded and silvered copper and shakudo, the lower plates of all the major portions are decorated with naturalistic cherry trees.
