yoroi (<body armor for torso>, body armor, ... Furnishings and Equipment (hierarchy name)) |
|
Note: Refers to a type of Japanese body armor designed primarily for use by archers on horseback and used mainly from the 9th century to the 16th century. It is characterized by being lightweight compared to other styles of armor and constructed of multiple pieces that were held together by brightly colored cord or ribboons. In addition to its practical function, it was valued for decorative and ritualistic reasons, and was often donated to Shinto shrines upon the death of its owner. |

Chinese (traditional) ..... 指日本護身盔甲的一種,主要穿戴於西元第九至十六世紀,係專為馬上弓箭手而設計。相較於其他盔甲款式,其特色為質輕,並以色彩明亮的細繩或絲帶將多個組件繫在一起組合而成。這種鎧甲除了實用功能之外,亦因其裝飾性與在儀式上的意義而受到重視,且常在擁有者過世後由後人捐給神社。 |
Dutch ..... Verwijst naar een type persoonlijke wapenrusting in Japan, voornamelijk bedoeld voor gebruik door boogschutters te paard en hoofdzakelijk gebruikt van de 9e tot de 16e eeuw. De yoroi was licht van gewicht vergeleken met andere wapenrustingen en opgebouwd uit meerdere stukken die bij elkaar werden gehouden door felgekleurde koorden of linten. De yoroi werd gewaardeerd om zijn praktische functie, maar ook om decoratieve en rituele redenen. Na de dood van de eigenaar werd het kledingstuk vaak geschonken aan een Shinto heiligdom. |
