Description

Tanko Gashira Kabuto was part of the first style of iron armor that appeared in Japan during the 4^th century (Heian Era). This armor was worn by foot soldiers and had a distinctive lamellar (layered) construction. The Tanko Kabuto was the first helmet ever made using laminated armor plating style. It was joined by rivets and lace. The Tanko Gashira Armor was the base armor set which samurai and modern body armor would later be based on over the next thousand years.

This historically accurate reproduction of a Tanko Gashira Kabuto is completely handcrafted from iron and cotton at Iron Mountain Armory. Each Tanko Gashira Kabuto is supplied with a portable stand, to be proudly displayed. This battle-ready kabuto is masterfully crafted from steel and features a cotton lining and comes complete with a custom wooden stand.

Rated 5 out of 5
I purchased this helmet for HEMA training and with a few modifications it is passable. It is very well made and handles abuse. It is also very unique in design and NO one has ever seen any armor like it. 5 stars for quality, speed and service. Thank you!
