@Ironhyde1 It didn't, no. But Samurai were more of a hybrid type of soldiers, whereas mongols had dedicated archers and footsoldiers. Samurai were supposed to be able to first of all fight efficiently from horseback and use bow, which is mission imposible if you're heavily armored and they were also supposed to be able to effectively fight on foot. You gotta sacrifice protection for that kind of diversity since you can't really have it all in one package. Mongols weren't very well armored either in comparison to Europe at the time.
@Ironhyde1 Well i already mentioned Mongols having dedicated archers and melee combatants though. That's the thing, Mongolian archers didn't wield shields or heavy armor, because that would've affected their ability to wield the bow. Samurai did both roles at once, archery and melee. They didn't have separate troops for each role. Also, i never argued that Samurai armor wasn't inferior, obviously the Mongols were better in warfare and gear. I just made a point, that there's a reason it was designed the way it was.
But sadly for you, gamer. This is not how samurai wear in that Mongol invasion era. This is the latest armor of samurai. Around 17th century maybe. They use more metal. And that Tsushima invasion is 13th century thing.. Of course the armor n weapon are more weak than this 17th century samurai armor n weapon. Edit: and at that Tsushima Invasion, their sword is not katana though. It was just normal thin sword. Katana not yet invented. But naginata(spear-like weapon but have more blade) and other weapons already invented at that time.
Your traditional armor is perfect guys! I'm from Russia and I love your country for its nature, people, philosophy and great history! I really want to visit Japan one day.
Ahh Sanada Yukimura's iconic stag horned armor, a solid choice and always one of my favorites, especially with the rokumonsen crest adorning the visor! Many samurai back then had spectacular armor, I'd love to see a collection of the various styles of make of samurai armor, as they all weren't always just simply plates.
@@cristianeric5933 just like Jin's horse that magically appear everywhere whenever we called for it. I am sure there is always an anxious armour crew waiting whenever we press that option button. "Fuck! What now user? What now? Make up your damn mind!!" Says the armour assistant.
I had a photo shoot with these guys back in 2018. I chose the Kuroda Nagamasa set. They were so friendly and cool, the armour itself was pretty heavy and tight. I honestly don't know how they fought in it back in the day. Really impressive. If you ever get a chance to visit these guys, I highly recommend it. Love from Australia.

I want all of those! I have always found the armor to be more fascinating than the swords or other weapons are. I rember when I got a change to actually see and hold old armor pieces on an Japanese theme day at my junior high school in the early 1990s, how surprised I was from such things as the weight of the helmet - Kabuto. Japanese look so small but you have to have the neck of an ox to be able to wear it constantly without getting your neck cramped. Modern military helmets, like the one I used when I was in service, are like feathers. I also feel that if the soul of the warrior has to be reperesented by something particular, the armor makes that better than anything else in the Japanese culture. Things like art or ceremonies represent more of the artist or a gentleman in the warrior and weapons represent the fierceness and discipline of the warrior. The armors look fantastic.
Very beautifull armor, this make me think of a vampire armor !! I'm french and i love your civilisation. Thank you for this video and greeting from france :)
@Duane Dibbley European armor was also colored and painted sometimes, pretty hard to know how often from sample size. But there has been found traces of paint form some armors. Unfortunately because of erosion we don't really see painted armors and plain steel ones are pretty much only thing we see in media and otherwise.
@Duane Dibbley They didn't copy it (most armor stuck with the sandwiched metal concept) but instead they just outright imported them directly. I mean let's be real: European steel by default is pretty good so of course good things is expected. Japanese steel not so much but they made it good. That's exceptional
It's really beautiful just wonder the meaning of different horns on helmets and also meaning of different colors armour and last not the least the Famous katana and wakizashi are one of things I'm most fascinated to luv u
It's wonderful that even though this is for acting in a production, they still give the armor the dignity and honor it deserves. So much noble blood was spilt after all. God Bless Japan.
I think Samurai Armor is my favorite armor, second is the Roman Legion Armor, third is Spanish breast plate armor, and the fourth will be the European fullplate armor.
If you played Total war: Shogun 2 you know it to be true, Any colors you want, at the time it was possible that is, i have a hard time seeing a Pink Samurai armor from back then, today is possible, just not in Sengoku Jidai
@@JAPANexperience-gk9rq Samurai Armor is way more efficient then western Knight Armor becuse it gives a lot of protection and you don't feel heavy you don't lose much mobility like you can run and charge to battle without looking like a Turtle shell with legs
Muita seda. De algum modo, os antigos já sabiam que a seda era o material mais resistente que tinha. Hoje, ainda usamos Kevlar para coletes balísticos e blindagem leve, os quais sabemos ser inferior à seda... O grande problema é que não conseguimos produzir seda em larga escala e não é um material barato também...
Très belle armure de Samourai, il porte le daisho wakizashi et katana. On reconnait bien tout l'art médiéval japonais dans le temps et la minutie mis en oeuvre pour équiper le bushi. Est-ce une armure de guerre ou une armure d'apparat ?
It's fascinating how far Japanese weaponry and armory diverge from the mainland, one really need to wonder what sort of situations that pushes these small innovations on the armor crafting
There is nothing quite like the "Samurai armor". It's beatiful, A peace of art. I have a real handmade katana, Just holding it feels special. Just think about a full armor.
Looks like Sanada Yukimura, a Japanese leading samurai general of the Sengoku period on the defending side of the Siege of Osaka. He was called "A Hero who may appear once in a hundred years", "Crimson Demon of War" and "The Last Sengoku Hero".
I guess you didn't realize that it's the character from the game Jin Sakai getting prepared. All the armours from the game are right behind him. It is the Ghost of tsushima team.
authentic in the sense that it is a reproduction, made in the traditional way - absolutely, you can. There are lots of stories of outsiders heading to Japan and being able to try on and even buy these kinds of reproduction armors. Wearing an actual, 17th century set of armor? That's a little more tricky. First, obviously, a museum probably won't let you wear theirs. There are sets that go up for auction, family heirlooms, etc. If you make a friend who owns a set while you're there, they might let you try it. But that opens up the second problem; you're probably too tall and too "wide" if you're not Japanese. Even modern Japanese people are a LOT taller than the Samurai. Judging from their armor, bones, etc - historians estimate that samurai were averaging out at just over 5' in height. Their armors are strikingly small, almost like a child's armor today. It causes issues when trying to recreate historical armors for modern body sizes.
@ they were foreign samurai, yes. But I don't understand the context here. For what it's worth, the "little iceage" of that century reduced European heights to an average of 5'5" making Adams comparable in size to the Japanese themselves. Yasuke is recorded as being much taller - about 6'2 Also, Adams and Yasuke arrived near the very end of the Sengoku-Jidai. While we know that Yasuke was present at battles, we don't know if Adams was. When Hidetada became Shogun, he also gifted a set of samurai armor to King James I, although I'm not sure if it was made to the king's measurements - I doubt it.

@Ironhyde1 true, nice looking that's all
@Ironhyde1 Samurai were mainly on horseback and armed with a bow, so the armor was designed with that in mind.
@Ironhyde1 It didn't, no. But Samurai were more of a hybrid type of soldiers, whereas mongols had dedicated archers and footsoldiers. Samurai were supposed to be able to first of all fight efficiently from horseback and use bow, which is mission imposible if you're heavily armored and they were also supposed to be able to effectively fight on foot.
