In the accompanying expertise, Fred Weissberg emphasizes the rarity of this armor which must have belonged to a high-ranking samurai in the service of Date Masamune (1567-1636), feudal lord (daimyō) of the province of Sendai, an area in which was also active Myōchin Masaiye whose signature appears on the cuirass dō, made explicitly to withstand the blows of a firearm and much appreciated especially in the entourage of Masamune.
