[Nio's body legs] Azuchi Momoyama period · 16th century
The design of the torso-painted torso is said to be a Nioh's body leg because it reminds of the body of the Golden-Blaster. On the back of the torso, the letters "Heart" inverted in a circle are represented by gilt. The persimmon is a transitional pot called "Yaroshaari", in which eyebrows (white hair) are planted in the entire pot, and a back is lined. It is a tool with a real and strange atmosphere on the whole.
