Description
Our Hachi-gané (armored headband) are high quality, functional armored headbands, reproduced after original designs from the Sengoku Era (Warring States). It features karute-gane (square armor plates) linked with kusari (chain-links) and a double layered hachimaki (headband) for maximum protection and comfort. Your choice of material.
History: The Hachigane hachimaki was a small piece of flexible, or portable armor for protecting the forehead. It was used by both samurai and possibly shinobi (ninja). It’s main use was to protect the warrior from cuts to the forehead. Samurai would often use this armor while in combat, dueling, travelling or during semi-formal occasions. Hachigane became a sign of status, as well as light armor protection, especially during a duel.
Features:
- Optional Hachigane material linen or brocade
- Different paint options to suit your preference
- Mon (clan symbol) or logo can be added to center plate of your Hachigane for additional fee

Authentic with Excellent Quality –
I needed this precise thing as part of my garb for a period Japanese persona, for an event the following weekend, in which I was part of a demo at the end. Not only did I receive it quickly, but I received quick and friendly responses from Japanese-Armor to all my questions about this and other items they carry. The hachigane itself is of excellent quality, and I received countless compliments throughout the day during before the demo proper. I wore it for over 12 hours straight, and it remained comfortably in place. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase.
