I realise this is a very old thread and I apologise for necroing it but I just wanted to say thank you! I’ve been searching for ages trying to find out about these pieces of armour! I found my way here via google images of all places! Can anybody tell me when the Kyubi/Sendan No Ita were phased out and replaced with Gyoyo? Maybe just a rough idea period-wise?
I’m not even sure anybody will even see this reply all these years later, but it’s worth a shot!
Many thanks either way!
