Dō-maru

Dō-maru (胴丸), or "body wrap", is a type of chest armour (dou or dō) that was worn by the samurai class of feudal Japan. Dō-maru first appeared in the 11th century, as an armour for lesser samurai and retainers. Like the ō-yoroi style it became more common in the Genpei War at the end of the 12th century.
