Gashira (Officer): Expertly handmade from a mixture of quality traditional and modern materials, as well as some modern crafting process. This class of armor is crafted with a good attention to detail. Crafting Time: 20 to 35 Days. Materials Used: Bowl style kabuto, steel construction, traditional brocade, hemp, quality cotton, brass, copper fittings with genuine leather & and some synthetic materials might be used. (materials may differ depending on model) Our “Gashira Class” yoroi represents the next level up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is meticulously handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory. These artisans pour their warrior spirit into every piece, using quality materials and traditional crafting methods, complemented by modern techniques, tools, and design advancements. Like the Taisho Class, each suit is heavily researched and crafted with great care for historical accuracy. The principal difference between the Gashira and Taisho classes is that the Gashira Class is crafted with a practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some machine-stamped parts. The Gashira Class also features subtle modern enhancements, such as grommets and spot welding, making the armor more robust and easier to maintain. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors, and martial artists who desire an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the additional expenses associated with the more traditional design and handcrafting methods of our Taisho Class. The Gashira Class features a more traditional Gendai design compared to the Kachi Class and includes features such as real animal hair, genuine leather, a removable or interchangeable nose, brass fittings, shoulder padding with kikko (armor plating), traditional butted mail, opposable thumbs, leg/waist support on haidate, extra materials, fittings, riveting, grommets, additional lacing options, and an included armor storage/display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand. The attention to detail is a significant step up from the Kachi Class. However, due to the handcrafted nature of many parts, there may be some blemishes that pass through our QC process. Although we strive to avoid and correct these blemishes, they are a natural occurrence in handcrafting. Taisho Class suits will have fewer, if any, of these blemishes due to the high standards and meticulous review processes.

Description

Ketsueki Mentsu Samurai were fearsome samurai of the Sengoku Era (Warring States Period), who painted their yoroi (samurai armor) midnight black and blood red, giving them a nightmarish appearance as they charged their enemies from the darkness. They would howl blood-curdling battle cries as they charged into the fray with weapons poised to bring death and destruction in their wake. These full sized, fully functional custom reproduction samurai sets are perfect for Budo martial arts combat training, LARP, cosplay and display.

Our experienced katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith) has carefully reproduced this terrifying suit of armor in Gashira Class using natural materials, traditional designs, with some modern techniques and tools. Comes with a fearsome maedate (helmet crest) cast in brass. This sinister suit of armor features a durable hachi zunari kabuto and a detailed okegawa Do. The style is like what the Ketsueki Mentsu samurai would have worn more than 460 years ago. Bring your martial arts training or larp cosplay to the next level.

Standard colors of the Ketsueki Mentsu Armor are Black Uzumaki as the primary paint complemented by the vermilion Menpo (mask) and Sode (shoulder guards). The entire look is finished complemented by Black and Red odoshi (lacing). We do offer the option to customize this yoroi set however you like – including colors, finish, laces, material, leather, mustache styles and more. Also available in Kachi class.

Features: This yoroi features Gashira Class quality crafting.

Full sized and fully functional.
Variation of paint, high quality cotton odoshi colors and traditional features.
Includes display box and stand.

The long wait is over. “PATIENCE IS THE KEY TO PERFECTION. ” I finally got my suit of armor as per my custom design. Excellent craftsmanship and attention to details is one of the thing I noticed in crafting this Armor. From my sketch designs through proper communication with SAMURAI ARMOR/IMA indeed it is amazingly done with a little bit of differences. The armor is fiercely looking at its RESSEI mempo design. From Kabuto to Suneate it is perfectly done. Highly recommended! Many thanks to Michael and Luis for their response and it is an honor to have it crafted by the IMA my Samurai Armor design… Arigato Gozaimas.

I’ve read the post from blog sites about buying Chinese made armor and did hear good things about japanese-armor.com but felt a little suspicious about almot all of their products have 5 star ratings. The customer service with Michael was 100 times better than I received from the actual Japanese website. Michael responded very quickly to all of my emails and with great detail + answered the phone when I called. The Japanese website I would sometimes have to send 2 or 3 emails until I heard back from them and it just didn’t make me feel comfortable sending thousands of dollars overseas to someone isn’t easy to contact.

I highly recommend Japanese-Armor.com (the word of a stanger, I know). They are lagit and their armor is just as good as the Japanese made in my opinion.

The armor gets 5 Stars and their customer service gets 5 Stars as well.

Thank you!
