description
The Sune-Ate are shin armors that belong to the armor ( yoroi ) of the Japanese samurai . They are made of various materials, such as fabrics, leather and metal. They are produced in different designs. Mostly they consist of leather or fabrics on which armor made of rail armor ( Shino-Sune-Ate ), plate armor ( Tsubo-Sune-Ate ) is applied. But some are made entirely of metal. The Sune-Ate are wrapped around the legs and fixed with fabric or leather straps or, in the case of the all-metal versions, folded and locked or tied. The shape varies a lot. Some are more triangular, others more rectangular and still others are adapted to the shape of the legs.
Naginatadō
The leg guards worn today as part of the Bōgu at the Naginatadō are also called Sune ate .
