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.

Description

Introducing the majestic Shogun Armor set, the first masterpiece from our exclusive Shogun series armor line. Crafted to give homage to Tokugawa Ieyasu, the influential Shogun who brought an end to the warring Sengoku era and ushered in the Edo period’s era of peace. It captures the spirit of absolute power and resilience, combining design features from both the mid to late Sengoku era with the aesthetics of the Edo period.

Every element of this armor set reflects dedication to traditional samurai artistry, meticulously handcrafted by our skilled artisans. The centerpiece is a stunning 24 ken so-fukurin hoshi-bachi kabuto, featuring ko-boshi, meticulously assembled to reflect the formidable essence of a Shogun’s helmet. The fukigaeshi, expertly crafted by joining the hachi tsuke-no-ita and ni-no-ita with split-shanked rivets, adds a distinctive historical authenticity. All while featuring a hand forged menpo (face armor) with ago hige (simulated, imperial style goatee).

Enhancing the helmet’s grandeur is tehen-no-kanamono, adorned with a ese ura giku za, hohei ura, and daki bana. The 4 shino-dari, inverted spear-like decorations, boldly juts from beneath the tehen-no-kanamono, illustrating the dynamic aesthetics of Shogun warfare attire. The so-fukurin (brass trimming) highlights the edges of the 24 suji (ribs) which make up the hachi (bowl) of the kabuto.

The do (cuirass) plate follows the kiritsuke-kozane (wide scale) style, known for its robust tosei (modern) design introduced in the mid 1500’s while romancing the elegance and historical significance in samurai armor construction of the Muromachi era. The kote (armored sleeves) mirrors late Kamakura-period designs with tsumami-tekō (armored hand plate with thumbs), and resurging in early Edo era craftsmanship. Completing this Shogun series armor are the Etchû-suneate, which maintain traditional functionality and provide modern adaptability for the wearer.

This Shogun armor set is a tribute to peace, merging four distinct periods of samurai armor design. It symbolizes the pivotal shift from the warring Sengoku era to the tranquil Edo period, capturing the essence of transformation and harmony in a beautifully crafted piece of functional art. Focusing on the fine details, we harmonize styles from various eras, balancing rich embellishments with modest simplicity to create a truly unique piece.A significant cultural replica that links the past with the present.

This Shogun series armor invites you to step into the role of a powerful Shogun, commanding respect and awe with every piece.
