And hell why not ancient China and Korea as well and maybe further afield. The last thread was going well until all the slav vs slav stuff took over.
From what I remember we largely exhausted the discussion about Japanese sickles and even took a tangent to Africa and back with their amazing autistic throwing knives/metal boomerangs.
So this time let's perhaps start with armor? I personally can't decide if I'm more fond of Asian lamellar type armor or of the southern barbarian armor made in the style of, or sometimes even from, European armor. I do know that I prefer the later style kabuto to the classical types.

It's a figure rather than an actual person wearing a helm but it's not that much out of the realm of possibility see >>1203
I'm guessing if it's based on a real kubuto then the real one doesn't show quite so much emotion, but who knows.
I've definitely seen both long rabbit ears and animal heads on them before.

Nope. I think it might have something to do with mongol horse meta, probably easier to hold it like that while riding when you also have bow, quiver and lance strapped to yourself.

Mirror mail is really nice. One of those says Ottoman but I generally think of it as being Indian or Nepalese or somewhere in that region. I think the Mongols used it too.

No wonder why they come up with some wacky shit like Chainsaw Man when you look at the fourth picture and remember this was very real and super serious and autistically honorable to wear.

General observation: most of these helmets could not allow their wearers through doors or corridors.

>most of these helmets could not allow their wearers through doors or corridors.
That's not really much of an issue given that a) these were helmets for elite samurai and b) how Japanese war was practiced. Additionally Nip castles were pretty minimalist anyway so there would be less clutter than you would expect. The internal doors and walls were largely paper too.

Ah yes the Japanese warrior monk. In Nioh 2 you briefly have one of these guys as an ally, only in this case he's wearing armor made of blue and white porcelain under his robes. Spoiler it's not actually armor, it's his body. He's a pot shard youkai called a Seto Taisho.
