Today I would like to introduce the main Sengoku daimyo Who's army fighting in the battle of Byeokjegwan
Tachibana Muneshige
(December 18, 1567 ~January 15, 1643)
His army was the fiercest in the battle and caused great damage to the Ming army
↓↓So you see why I drew the black and white flag
His army is noted for its bravery in Japan, known as about three thousand troops. After battle, only 1132 men left 《Japanese War History Korean war》, and the Tachibana army did not take part in any recorded battles after that.
Gold foil peach shaped helmet
"Peach pocket" most famous is Tachibana Muneshige's "Golden Armor" troops.
before the battle [Tachibana in the future in the Korean campaign]Tachibana Muneshige created about 200 gold foil peach pocket, the purpose is to show the discipline and military power of Tachibana family.
This helmet is influenced by Western armor helmet. Because the western helmet protrudes from the center, it is regarded as peach-shaped by the Japanese, so this helmet is collectively called "peach-shaped helmet".The vertical rim and smooth surface in the center of the helmet make it less vulnerable to swords, spears, bows and arrows. In addition, the peach helmet is light in weight and activity up convenient.
As for the origin of "peach shaped helmet", modern Japanese armour scholars thought that were brought by Portuguese and Spanish in Japan during the Warring States Period, should have imitated the rare imported helmet as helmet of the junior warrior.
The gold peach shaped helmets of the tachibana family are now hanging in two rows in the corridor of the " Tachibana Historical Museum " hall, quite spectacular!
