¥70,000

Authentic Japanese Koshia-te (Waist/Hip Guard) from the late Edo Period (19th Century).

This rare protective set was traditionally worn by urban authorities or high-ranking fire brigades (Hikeshi) as a functional status symbol and lower back protection.

Key Features:

  • The Guard (Koshia-te): Features a striking, large Ume-mon (Plum Blossom Crest) centered on a reinforced black panel. The surface is adorned with gold-colored pyramidal rivets (Byō) for structural reinforcement and visual impact.

  • Symbolism: The upper section is decorated with the classic Sayagata (fret) pattern, a traditional motif representing strength and longevity.

  • The Belt: Includes a matching, high-quality Green Silk Kinran Brocade strap featuring floral patterns and decorative brass chrysanthemum-shaped bosses.

  • Historical Context: These pieces were essential equipment for Edo-era officials, providing lightweight protection and a base for carrying weapons such as a Jitte.
