In period prints, kusari (chain armor) was represented with cross hatching, you will also see cross hatching with visible armor plates attached. On close inspection of the neckline, wrists and ankles you can see armor showing on many prints.
Here is a samurai wearing kusari represented by cross hatching on the neck and arms.
Here is a samurai wearing armor represented by cross hatching for the kusari with armor plates attached at the fore arms.
Here is a samurai wearing kikko armor, which are small hexagon leather or iron plates.
