Robe of the Fire-Rat

The (ひねずみのかわごろも, hi nezumi no kawagoromo), was a garment woven, as its name suggests, from the hair of the fire-rat. It is an incredibly tough armor and has regenerative properties. It once belonged to the Inu no Taishō, however, he gave it to his human wife Izayoi after she gave birth to his half-demon son Inuyasha. It remained in Izayoi's possession until her death, when her son Inuyasha inherited it. Along with the container of rouge that his mother used, which was later smashed to bits by Naraku, the robe was the only thing that he had of hers. It protected Kagome in episode 3, as well as several other episodes throughout the series (anime).

Abilities

 * It has some unknown property in connection with Lake Motosu that, in conjunction with four other objects, unseals Kaguya's powers.
