Surcoat (jinbaori). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: 43 1/4 × 33 1/2 in. (109.9 × 85.1 cm). Date: late 16th century. Battle surcoats (jinbaori) were produced from the Age of Civil War (ca. 1467-1603) through the end of the Edo period (1615-1867). Starting in the 16th century, they were worn over the newly-developed, light armor made of iron plates (toseigusoku) as a protection from rain, wind, and cold. With the arrival of the Portuguese in 1543, Japan became involved in global trade. Luxurious jinbaori began to be made of expensive, imported fabrics, notably fine Chinese silk damasks and gold brocades, as well as velvet and wool from the West. This luxurious and elegant Momoyama period jinbaori is of a very rare type; only three similar examples are known. All three belonged to warlords or high-ranking warriors associated with the great general Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598) or the first Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616). The surcoat's pleated "skirt" is a yellow and green Chinese brocade with a gold and silver "dragon and cloud" design. The sleeveless vest is made of imported wool, an exotic and expensive material in the late 16th-century Japan. The crest of the Naito family, allies of Tokugawa Ieyasu, is a white, woven wool felt applique on the back of the vest, decorated with refined braiding and cording. The crest, a flowering wisteria, was inspired by the fact that one character of the family name is "wisteria." Other "Western" features of this garment are its standing collar and the white and red silk crepe ruffles along the sleeve openings. This unique combination of rare imported luxury fabrics suggests that the jinbaori was a gift from a warlord to his loyal samurai. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
