Ashiguru

The Ashigaru or "lower class Samurai" made up the bulk of all Japanese armies in this period. These troops were the workhorse of the army and were divided into corps of arquebusiers, archers, spearmen and subsidiary corps (flag bearers, supply etc).

This series includes the Ashigaru of two famous daimyo; Tokugawa Ieyasu and Mori Hidemoto.
The Tokugawa Ashigaru bear the mon (crest of the clan) in gold on both helmet and breastplate and wear dark brown armor with light blue sleeves and fittings.
The Mori ashigaru the mon in white and wear dark blue armor with red sleeves and fittings.

The marching sets are available with or without the sashimono flag, which was commonly worn by most samurai and ashigaru alike to aid identification on the battlefield. The Tokugawa sashimono is white and carries the mon in blue, the Mori sashimono is dark blue and carries the mon in white.
