This exhibition is the first ever to display fragments of the armor that were removed during restoration, Ataka’s records, and sketches of the armor from before restoration. With the addition of the aforementioned Haramaki Type Armor, which was restored in 1856 following the example set by Armor with White Lacing, visitors will be introduced to these model restorations of the Edo period.
