He won at Sekigahara in 1600, took the title of shōgun in 1603, and the government he built lasted two hundred and sixty-five years — the longest stretch of peace the country had ever had.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe is usually described as patient, which understates it. He outlived Nobunaga by thirty-four years and Hideyoshi by eighteen, and he inherited what both of them had built by the simple method of still being there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a reproduction of the shida gusoku, the golden armor associated with Sekigahara. The whole body is finished in gold: a smooth gilt cuirass, gilt helmet bowl, and the distinctive fern-leaf crest curling above the brow. Blue and black lacing runs through the shoulders and neck guard, and the sleeves are backed in patterned brocade rather than plain cloth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGilt kabuto with shida (fern) maedate and laced shikoro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGilt menpō face mask, red lacquered interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGilt dō (cuirass) with kusazuri skirt panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSode, kote, haidate and suneate with brocade backing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack lacquered storage box that doubles as a display stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt to fit wearers between 170 cm and 184 cm.
