This design was very popular during the Kamakura period.
Currently, only the one at Kasuga Taisha Shrine remains.

Bamboo is a motif that represents the celebration of growth as it grows straight, while sparrows are a motif that represents the warding off of bad luck as they peck at it.

Sparrows also symbolize good harvests, prosperity for the family, and safety in the home, and bamboo and sparrows are used as a common family crest by the Date, Uesugi, and Nagao families.

Among the armors housed at Kasuga Taisha Shrine, the Akaito-Ido O-yoroi is designated as a national treasure and has been featured in various media not only in Japan but also around the world.

It is a faithful reproduction

The thick metal fittings are carved with bamboo and sparrows .
According to legend at Kasuga Taisha Shrine, this red-laced armor was donated by Minamoto no Yoshitsune.

It is called "Bamboo Tiger Armor" because the helmet has a bamboo and a sparrow on the back and a bamboo and a tiger on the gauntlets.
This national treasure armor is a very heavy and luxurious product.
