Senshi (samurai) with Katana. Note the leather armor.
Senshi armor, made of leather, is the primary armor of the Nihon-Jan Senshi.
Samurai armor similar to that of a Senshi warrior. A demonic facemaske similar to Arisaka's is included.
Description[]
Senshi armor is made of lacquered leather, hardened on the torso and in other places, presumably soft over or not covering the joints. It is said to have gaps in it, and the neck is a particularly weak point, being covered only by a thin screen of soft leather. It is not the hardest or the best armor, as it does not stop a katana or wakizashi, or even Horace's original sword. Senshi armor is marked with the wearer's clan emblem over the heart, and the armor of high-ranking Senshi is often lacquered a gaudy color, such as blue or even vermillion, like Arisaka's.
Usage[]
Senshi armor is used by the Senshi warriors of both Arisaka and Shigeru, and also the Kikori who fought for Emperor Shigeru in The Emperor of Nihon-Ja.
Trivia[]
- Noting that the armor is very weak, the Senshi probably relied more on their swordsmanship rather than their armour.
