Extra Customization 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.

Description

Mori Clan Samurai Armor, this beautiful yoroi has been reproduced in honor of the Môri Clan of Aki, whose military prowess on land and at sea made them without equal. They could read the waves, move their fleets further than other clans, and as such were unmatched in ocean warfare. They would often surprise their enemies by sailing up onto their shores at night for a quick invasion. The Môri Clan was also known for combining military might with astute diplomacy, making them masters of words as well as waves and warring. The Gashira samurai were mid ranking samurai who would lead and support the Mori Kachi Samurai in battle on land or sea. They would receive their marching orders from their Kumi-Gashira, or Taisho Commander.

Our experienced katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith) at Iron Mountain Armory, will craft your Gashira Armor using traditional samurai armor designs with the implementation of modern techniques and tools. We offer the options to change the style of the kabuto (helmet), menpo (mask) and suneate (shin guards). The standard colors of the Môri Clan Samurai Armor are Crimson Suna as their primary color, with Black Uzumaki reflecting the ripples of dark water. The second and bottom plates are accompanied by Black Lacing. We offer the ability to customize it however you like, including paints, laces, material and leather in multiple colors and styles. This suit of samurai armor is sold here as Gashira Class, which presents better quality and craftsmanship than our Kachi Class armors.

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 2 to 4 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.

Very impressive overall.
Reviewer

Rated 5 out of 5
Admittedly although I read other reviews about this company and their armor I was still sceptical. However I just I received my new samurai armor last week and was so excited. I unpacked and inspected each piece of armor, which was carefully wrapped in bubble wrap to keep it safe during shipping. The level of detail that went into each armor part is very impressive. The armor looks and feels real. The weight, the toughness of the metal especially the detailed work put into the helmet, which fits like a glove. I have already worn the armor for my family and friends and it fits perfectly and everyone was impressed. Everyone hit my chest to test the armor and were shocked at how strong the armor actually is, saying “That’s the real thing!” I can’t wait to wear my armor to Comicon this year!

Overall I am very impressed and this armor is well worth 5 stars. I would highly recommend this armor to anyone wanting a real samurai suit of armor.
