=== Armors & weapons === Many sets of armors are said to have been used by Ieyasu, and at least 10 pieces of armor were used by Ieyasu during his life and recorded in history. While warlords at the time preferred flashy armor and frontlets to show off their presence, the 'Hada Gusoku' armor used by Ieyasu in the Siege of Osaka is a jet black armor with very few decorations, and is said to represent Ieyasu's frugal personality.<ref name="Ieyasu armor exhibition">{{Cite web|title=【国宝・久能山東照宮展】 家康吉祥の具足、歯朶具足(しだぐそく)|trans-title=National Treasure Kunozan Toshogu Shrine Exhibition】 Ieyasu's auspicious armor, Shidagusoku (Hat Armor) |url=http://shizubi.jp/blog/1475/ |website=静岡市美術館 |access-date=2022-04-25 |language=ja}}</ref> Like Hideyoshi, Ieyasu also presented armor to Europe, and there is a record of the "Moji-i Domaru Armor" at Ambras Castle in Austria being a gift from "the Emperor and Empress of Japan to Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II." This armor has the same characteristics as the aforementioned "Hanairo Hinomaru-i Domaru Armor" and armor presented by Hidetada to King James I of England in 1613, and is believed to have been presented by Ieyasu between 1608 and 1612. The armor has the characters for {{Nihongo|World|天下|tenka}} on the front of the torso and left sleeve, and {{Nihongo|Peace|太平|taihei}} on the back of the torso and right sleeve, woven with red thread.<ref>{{cite book |title=家康の遺産-駿府御分物 |trans-title=eyasu's Legacy – Sunpu Imperial Propertypmpm |date=1992 |publisher=Tokugawa Art Museum |url=https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/books/R100000002-I000002304280 |access-date=9 June 2024 |language=Ja}}</ref> <gallery> Image:Tokugawa Ieyasu armor (replica) - Siege of Osaka Quadricentennial, Yukimura Sanada and Sengoku Samurai Warriors - Marunouchi Building, Tokyo, Japan - DSC01676.jpg|Replica of Ieyasu armor Image:Shida gusoku of Tokugawa Ieyasu at Kunōzan Tōshō-gū.jpg|Armor of Tokugawa Ieyasu at [[Kunōzan Tōshō-gū]] Image:Sunpu Castle Higashigomon 201015t.jpg|Golden Kindami gusoku armor of Ieyasu in Sunpu castle image:Ambras Wunderkammer - Samurai Rüstung.jpg|Domaru armor with calligraphy image:Sekigahara armour.jpg|Ieyasu's [[Commons:Category:Nanban dou (dō) gusoku|Western-style armor]], believed to be worn by Ieyasu in the battle of Sekigahara </gallery>
