    Extra Customization Options


    Gashira (Officer):
    Expertly handmade with quality materials and good attention to detail.


    Crafting Time: 25 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 are the next step up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smith) at the Iron Mountain Armory. Our craftsman will use quality materials and traditional crafting methods with some modern techniques, tools and advancements in design. Much like the Taisho Class, each suit has been heavily researched, and a lot of care is put into their historical accuracy. The principle difference between the Gashira-class and Taisho-class, is that the Gashira Class is crafted with the practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some other machine stamped parts. Gashira class also feature some small modern design enhancements (like adding grommets and spot welding) to make the armor more robust and easier to main. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made specifically for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors and martial artists, who want an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the added expenses of the more traditional design and hand crafting methods found in our Taisho class.


    The Gashira class features a more traditional Gendai design over kachi class and include features such as, real animal hair, genuine leather, 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, extra lacing options and included armor storage / display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand. The attention to detail is a big step up from Kachi class, however, due to handcrafting of many parts there might be some blemishes that pass through our QC process. Although we work to avoid and fix blemishes / issues, through the QC process, they are a natural occurrence of handcrafting. Taisho class suits will have fewer (if any) of these blemishes that occur due to high standards and level of detail when crafting and review.

Description

Daku Akuma Gashira were samurai infantry that would march within the lines of their ashigaru and then charge out into the enemy lines once the battle began.  Through their superior fighting skills given to them by the Daku Akuma (dark demon), they would cut their way through the opposing ashigaru, causing them to divide and be swallowed up by the darkness.  They would then swarm the battlefield, swallowing column after column of enemy ashigaru, leaving the horrible remains of the black death in their wake.  Legends say that they would taunt the enemy samurai in battle, increasing their anger and likelihood for making mistakes. The desired result was to draw them into direct battle while their ashigarus cut them off from support. Finally, the Daku Akuma Gashira samurai would wade into the conflict and finish them off.

Our seasoned katchû-shi  (Japanese armor smith), take great care in the crafting this Gashira samurai yoroi for our valued customers. Each set  features Kiritsuke Iyozane (simulated scale), sode (shoulder defense padding) and kusazari (skirt-like strips of plates).  They will be happy to customize your order by sizing it for you as well as crafting a different style of helmet, mask or shin style for you.

Features: Gashira Class crafting.

  • Full sized and fully functional.
  • Variation of paint, high quality cotton odoshi colors and traditional features.  
  • Includes display box and stand.
Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 4 to 6 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, for the custom handcrafting of your samurai armor set.

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

  3. I’m pretty satisfied –

    After just over 3 weeks, my order finally came but had this huge puncture through the box. Luckily everything was nicely packaged with a layer of styrofoam protecting my box(I’m glad I included the box). However, after taking the armor out, I found that my head ornament was chipped right at the tip of one of the horns with the missing piece nowhere to be found inside the package. Fortunately, I don’t mind it and I have no intention of owning anything that I won’t use. I’d rate 9 out of 10 if I could. Everything else is perfect and I love my new armor. I was even abel to help a baby with its constipation problems just by looking at them while wearing it.

  5. Amazing! –

    I bought the Gashira Class.
    This is absolutely beautiful and worthy of sitting in a dojo or home.
    Even into battle!

    Only two things I see wrong with the armour.

    One a mater of opinion, The side fastening on the Do are two sets of rope which are a pain to tie. Which makes it kind of hard to get the clam to line up together. (Or I just need someone to help put it on)
    easy fix is new fittings installed.
    They’ve done this method so you can wear more clothing underneath and still close it with the rope!

    The second one is structural.
    The watagami doesn’t seem secure to the Do. Almost as if its tearing off.
    Which could be my poor judgement of what lays underneath the leather. and the length of the “tang” of the watagami.
    I’m just going to put two rivets into each watagami just to be sure.

    I do believe this is well worth it though. So beautiful!
    Costumer service was beyond amazing!
