Description

The Akai Oni Samurai were elite Kachi samurai. They were guided into battle by their Gashira Akai Oni Samurai leaders. These elite samurai were chosen for the honor and heroism. Their armor was painted a crimson suna or vermilion which gave them the name “Akai Oni” (Red Demon). After winning many battles, the elite warriors of the Takeda Clan grew in notoriety and number. They are remembered as one of the most famous and powerful warriors of Feudal Japan.

Our apprentice Kachi katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith) will craft this stunning reproduction suit of samurai armor with an economical means. Now, even a budget minded samurai can join the ranks of the elite Akai Oni, and share in their prestigious history. You can even add a yoroi bitsu (armor box) to your order. Use the stand which comes with the box to display your armor with pride. This particular samurai suit features Kiritsuke Iyozane (simulated scale), sode (shoulder guards) and kusazari (defensive skirt plating).

Features: Kachi Class.

Variation of paint, nylon odoshi colors and features.
Full sized and fully functional.

Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 2 to 4 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, for the custom handcrafting of your yoroi.

To see the class differences, please view Kachi Vs. Gashira.

Worthy of 5 stars

Compared to Japanese made armor I would rate this suit of armor at 4 stars; maybe 4 1/2. But because of the difference in price, one can not compare it in such a fashion. The materials (silk, cotton and lacing) is better quality, but at the same time my Japanese suit of armor, which was similar in design, was $900 more expensive. I would estimate the difference in the quality of materials would be maybe $100, which doesn’t justify the extra cost fee of the $800 marked up by the Japanese armory. Now Iron Mountain Armory keeps improving their products (as they say and it shows in their pictures and videos), so with a few small upgrades in the materials, the armor should be almost identical to the Japanese made armor at about 30% less.

So in summery, Japanese made armor is a little better quality, but in price range, this Chinese made armor is very impressive and well worth the price, making this armor a much better deal. 5 Stars!
