. English: Yukimori (1543-76), a samurai known for his great strength and loyalty, served the Amako warlord during a time in Japanese history referred to as 'Sengoku,' or 'the country at war.' He wears a suit of armor called 'tosei gusoku' ('modern equipment') that was designed in the 16th century to be worn by a foot soldier. Like many samurai, Yukimori never went into battle without his 'rabbit's foot'-the crescent moon ornament he wore on his helmet as a token of good luck. Tsuki hyakushi. 1886 (Meiji).
