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.

A beautiful samurai suit crafted just for me. Amazing quality and service. I am very happy!
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.
I absolutely love my suit of armor,I had high expectations and I was not disappointed. And for the price it definitely can’t be beat.
The customer service was amazing,they kept me updated with tracking information an all the details. I plan on buying from this company again. Phenomenal work, guys!
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!
