This is a late Sengoku period samurai cuirass. Take not of the small dents on the cuirass. Those dents were caused by musket fire.
Some suits of Samurai Armor where made which were proofed against shot. Japanese Armors had advanced their craft considerably between 1000 and 1600, especially since the driving force which saw the refinement of samurai armor were conflicts and developments in the Japanese islands. Europeans also developed armor technology quite far during this timeframe and contrived body armor systems which were on average of higher quality to their contemporary japanese counterparts, which was only to be expected given that Europe had a higher population with more nations competing with more artisans working to improve their craft and replicate the accomplishments of those had pushed the envelope.

Importing European steel or European armour parts wasn't completely unheard of though.

Yes, if someone is selling good armor off the shelf and is willing to buy things you have in abundance but are rare and valuable curios back home it's only logical.
