# Plate Armor ## Creation Throughout history, dating back to the era of BVE, shinobi have worn a distinctive form of armor. This armor typically includes shoulder and hip coverings, complemented by a white sash and finished with red lining. When engaging in combat, ancient shinobi preferred this minimalist design, opting for reduced armor to prioritize mobility and agility. While this style may be rooted in ancient tradition, it remains highly effective. Today, it has become a popular fashion trend among civilians in the Land of Iron. For shinobi preparing for long journeys ahead, wearing plate armor as a tribute to ancient times serves as both a practical and symbolic choice.
