    Extra Design 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 and tools. 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. 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), butted mail, opposable thumbs, leg / waist support on haidate, extra materials, fittings, riveting, extra lacing options and included armor storage / display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand.

Description

Our Egawa no Okegawa Dō is a Gashira Class Dō (chest armor) crafted after the ni-mai (2 piece chest) style which was popular in the late 1400s to early 1500s.  This Dō features egawa (or an artisan style of printed leather) on the upper plates (Muna ita / Oshitsuke ita / Waka ita) which we offer in several styles. Choose from either white or Fusube Gawa (smoked brown) leather style.  

This style of Dō also has the optional fukurin (applied, decorative metal trim) along the edge of the plates for extra embellishment. This Gashira Class gendai okegawa yokohagi Dō  is a “tube sided” horizontal plated, two-piece chest design, and joined together with a hinge, making it a “clam shell” style of armor.  This style of Dō has horizontal, overlapping plates that are riveted together. This technique creates an incredibly strong, shock absorbing, layered chest-plate, which was more economical, comfortable, low maintenance and more reliable in battle than any previous designs.  This is why the Okegawa yoroi had become the most common style of armor used by all levels of samurai and their ashigaru during the 16 century.   The full name for this traditional Dō is: “Egawa no Yokohagi Okegawa Gendai Ni-Mai-Dō “.

The Dō features a traditional pin hinge under the left armpit, which can be removed, to make a simple ni-mai-Dō  to accommodate those with a larger or smaller chests.  The ita-mono style of construction utilizes some spot welding to strengthen the design for safety & maintenance reasons.  It also comes with a removable Tate-Eri (shoulder padding with kikko plating), for added comfort and protection.

Features:  Traditional design. Gashira Class.

  • Full sized and fully functional.
  • Various paint, cotton odoshi, accessory, customization and sizing options available.
  • Optional kawa koshi tsuke (removable gasen / kusazuri).
  • Removable Tate-Eri.

Handcrafted by Iron Mountain Armory at the time of your order. Please allow 3 to 4 weeks for crafting time.

CHEST MONS: This Samurai Do can be ordered with a Mon painted onto the front plate. For an extra fee, you can select one from our list of Standard Mon’s, or have your own Crest applied for an additional fee.

To have your own Mon painted: #1:  Select the “Custom Mon” option. #2: Complete the purchase through our Shopping Cart. #3: Send a high quality image of the Mon / Logo to the confirmation email you receive from us.

Note: we hand-paint these Mon’s, and they can only be simple “Clip-Art” style designs in a single color. If you would like a Mon but select a “Suna” type paint color, your Mon image may turn out blurry due to the paint texture.)

Ordering Tips:Iron Mountain Armory recommends that you order one size larger AND, in most cases we suggest one size shorter than the size required, it is better to err on the small side than over-sized. The armor is close fitting.  It can close into itself if too big, or be a little uncomfortable if fitted too tall. If you’re planning on wearing a yoroi hitatare or a kikko gane Dō under the armor, we suggest adding 10 cm to your chest size when ordering.  The Okegawa-Do features a pin hinge under the left armpit, which can be removed and a cord attached to make it a traditional Ni-Mai style Do.

To have your own Mon painted: #1:  Select the “Custom Mon” option. #2: Complete the purchase through our Shopping Cart. #3: Send a high quality image of the Mon / Logo to the confirmation email you receive from us.

Note: we handpaint these Mon’s, and they can only be simple “Clip-Art” style designs in a single color. If you would like a Mon but select a “Suna” type paint color, your Mon image may turn out blurry due to the paint texture.)
