He took the office in 1866, held it for a year, and in 1867 returned governing authority to the Emperor rather than fight a civil war he calculated he would lose. The samurai class was abolished within a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHe then lived another forty-six years. He took up photography, cycling, and oil painting, and died in 1913 having outlived the entire world he was born into by half a century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArmor from the closing years of the shogunate is a different object from the Sengoku sets. By this period it was ceremonial almost entirely — worn for audiences and processions, made to be looked at rather than fought in, and finished accordingly. This set follows that late Edo character: restrained plate, dense lacing, and ornament concentrated at the helmet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the Sengoku armors on this site are about a country at war, this one is about the moment it stopped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKabuto with maedate crest and laced shikoro\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMenpō face mask, red lacquered interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDō (cuirass) with kusazuri skirt panels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSode, kote, haidate and suneate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack lacquered storage box that doubles as a display stand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaterials and construction\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrimary materials: iron and microfiber components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: semi-handcrafted with machine-assisted production\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApproximate set weight: 22–23 kg (48.5–50.7 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: one size\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended wearer height: 175–180 cm (5 ft 9 in–5 ft 11 in)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRecommended wearer weight: 60–80 kg (132–176 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFit can vary with body shape and armor adjustment.
