A standing Samurai in a defensive position wearing a full armor including the well-known Samurai mask used for protecting the face and to strike terror into enemies. This armor is called Karuta (karuta-gane) from the Portuguese word for “card” because of the rectangle card-shaped pieces of the armor.
