The Japanese got European-styled cuirasses (nanban-do) as well as arquebuses (tanegashima), but did the European powers ever change any of their armor/weapon styles into those modeled after their Japanese variations?
Suits of Japanese armour became a fashionable gift for nobles to send each other but they were considered curios and would not have been worn on the battlefield.
The portrait of Sir Neil O'Neill by John Michael Wright from the 1680's displays a suit of Japanese armour that O'Neill had been gifted.
Thank you! Is there anything about an export of Japanese weaponry for display purposes or was it mostly limited to their armor?
