Suit of Armor in O-yoroi Style 白糸裾萌葱紺威鎧 兜・大袖・小具足付しろいとすそもえぎこんおどしよろい かぶと・おおそで・こぐそくつき
Description
幕末の薩摩藩主島津斉彬が着用したと伝えられる大鎧。制作当初の状態で各部が完全に揃っているものとして、大変貴重である。兜の鉢は、古く鎌倉時代のものを転用しており、各所に取り付けられた金具の装飾は豪華な作りで、他に例を見ないほど手の込んだ金具である。また胴前面の獅子牡丹文様の弦走の韋、籠手の蒔絵に加え、白色、萌黄色、紺色の三段の威絲など、全体に勇壮さ、重厚さに優雅さ、軽快さの感じられる上品な作風である。昭和3年5月に東京美術倶楽部で開催された公爵島津家藏品入札目録に目録番号375番として掲載されている。
