Extra Design Options

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.

SKU: T62 Category: Taisho Samurai Armor (High Quality)

Description

Go-Mai Do Kazaori Eboshi samurai armor set features a very unique custom kazaori eboshi kabuto (helmet in the form of a wind-swept court cap). The eboshi was traditionally a court cap in the Heian era which became more casual and for ceremonial purposes, into the late Muromachi period. The eboshi was given during “gempuku” (the ceremony of passage to adulthood – typically the age of 12). Samurai eboshi kabuto style are recorded to have been worn by noted military commanders between 1540 and 1620, including Maeda Toshiie (ca. 1538-1599) and Kato Kiyomasa (1562-1611). The wind-folded eboshi was so called because they were susceptible of being folded over by the wind, and in this case it is deliberately folded over with this intention.

The go-mai do (5 section cuirass) is more intricate in design, and was favored by samurai because it was more adjustable allowing more comfort (especially in sizing). It was also easier to repair as sections of the plates could be easily swapped out. The overall design made it easier to customize with different plate styles and designs. More importantly it was very robust and could take a beating.

Our artisan taisho katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith) will take great care in crafting this taisho samurai armor set. They will use more traditional crafting methods and design than the gashira samurai yoroi. It also features Kiritsuke Iyozane (simulated scale), sode (shoulder guards) and kusazari (defensive skirt plating). They are happy to customize your order by sizing it for your unique dimensions. They can also craft a different style of helmet, mask or even shin style for you.

Features: Taisho Class quality.

Full sized and fully functional.
Variation of paint, art silk odoshi colors and traditional features.
Includes display box and stand.

Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 6 to 8 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, for the custom handcrafting of your samurai armor set.

For more information, please review our Order Options Explained, Glossary Terms or FAQ Pages. You can also Contact Us directly. We are always happy to be of service.
