Shinobi-yoroi

Shinobi-yoroi, also known as ninja armor, is a traditional Japanese protective garment worn by ninjas. Designed for agility and stealth, it features lightweight materials that allow movement and concealment. The armor typically includes a hood, face mask, and flexible plates that shield vital areas without restricting mobility. Unlike heavy, cumbersome armor, shinobi-yoroi emphasizes practicality for clandestine operations, blending protective features with the ability to move quietly and quickly. It reflects the ninja's need for concealment, speed, and flexibility during covert missions in feudal Japan.
