Samurai wore elaborate armour





Samurai wore elaborate armour. For many years the islands of Japan were ruled by a class of noble warriors known as the samurai. As a mark of their status, samurai wore suits of armour made from hundreds of small plates of metal laced together with brightly coloured silk. Each group of samurai had a badge, or sashimono, often a picture of a plant or animal.
