A soldier in armour

This armour seems to be a domaru or torso protector. It was a simple one originally used by foot soldiers in the medieval Japan. But when a long sleeve garment and helmet were added, military commanders started to wear them. In this photograph, the soldier wears a face protector under the helmet, hand protectors, shin protectors and holds a long spear.==Date:unknown, Place:unknown, Photo:unknown, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number55‐24‐5]

Russian generals and Japanese soldiers

The surface of the photograph shows severe chipping, probably because it is a duplication of a photograph from the Russo-Japanese war (1904-1905).

The man second from left stands with a flag bearing his family crest and holds a bow and sword.

The men are wearing the armour of the time. It includes the torso protector, a throwback to older times.
