Although lamellar armor looks so very Japanese...
By the Sengoku period, plates were starting to come into vogue.
So Omi's haramaki-do has been replaced with a hotoke-do. This is the benefit of being a medieval Japan nerd.
Going from DR4 medium lamellar that's DR3 vs crushing to DR 6 medium plate that's DR6 all the time.
I saved over six pounds doing so and got better protection. For almost four times the money...
I realized that I inserted a joke into the character. The very-fine quality Katana is the least likely weapon to be employed. It's almost half of what I spent on equipment.
But having a real heirloom item is something this character would have, even if the naginata is every bit as effective in combat and FAR cheaper.
