Battle Armor Mark III

This armor has a few influences. One is abit of the european influence on Japanese armor, One is of a few symbols that feel important in life to me. One is of balance between in and yo (yin and yang, male and female) represented y the dragon and tiger sharing a ball of ki. the backplate has a picture of a warrior/protector diety Bishamon and a styled kanji for king. not trying to be arrogant or presumptious but it more directly means balancing the energies of Heaven Earth and Man. (three horizontal bars connected by one vertical bar) Seemed to me everyone is capable of this, and thus is an important symbol to have out there. This is also a test being able to make a durable white background coat on veg tan.  and the other Kanji is 'White Tiger' and 'Celestial/heaven Dragon'  also 'heaven dragon joins with white tiger' roughly anyways, im no kanji expert. And I would be remiss not to point out the symbols of two groups of sca folk engraved into the armor as well. That of the now Kingom of Northshield and My SCA family House Grayfox. -Joe
