SAMURAI ARMOR #01
Ō-yoroi began to appear in the 10th century, during the middle and late Heian period, and came into widespread use in Genpei wars around the 12th century, when the need for armor was at its peak. Significant aspects of this armor were designed for cavalry archers. The ō-yoroi with its box shape was heavy and did not allow for maximum movement or flexibility like its counterpart the dō-maru, so the armor fell into disuse in the 15th century when samurai mostly switched to infantry tactics.
For the most part the ō-yoroi was rich man's armor and not used by the lower samurai echelon. The armor was mainly worn by the o higher ranks of samurai on horseback. The lower echelon of soldiers had armor that was similar to ō-yoroi, but had fewer components, was lighter, and did not have the decorative markings of higher samurai ranks.
