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

Uesugi Kenshin – “The Dragon of Echigo” ruled the province of Echigo towards the end of the Sengoku Period (Feudal Japan). He was widely known for his prowess in both battle and in the courts. Kenshin earned his reputation and his nickname after several clashes with the legendary “Tiger of Kai”, better known as Takeda Shingen. Both may have received these names for their interest in Sun Tzu’s work “The Art of War” and their interest in Chinese culture.

The two Daimyo would clash five times before Takeda would succeed in the victory of Kenshi. Uesugi Kenshin believed in the Buddhist god of war. Because of this, his men regarded him as the Avatar of Bishamonten, calling Kenshin the “God of War.” His yoroi set comes with both dragon maedate (crest) for luck and large Buddhist prayer beads for blessing.

Iron Mountain Armory will craft your Gashira Armor using natural materials and traditional designs with the implementation of modern tools and techniques. We offer the option to change the style of the kabuto (helmet), mask menpo and suneate (shin guards). The standard colors of Uesugi Kenshin’s Dragon Armor are Black, as the dominant color with blue lacing. We offer the ability to customize it however you like, including paints, laces, material and leather in multiple colors and styles. This beautiful samurai yoroi set is also offered in both Kachi and Taisho as well.

Wow wow wow! Amazing detail and quality. I am so very impressed with the quality and detail of the armor. Even the display box looks amazing! Everyone loves the armor as it goes perfectly in my office. The armor is so well designed, it fits great and you hardly notice the weight while wearing it. I can actually wear the armor all day.

5 stars are well deserved and I would recommend this armor to anyone looking for quality armor at a very reasonable price compared to Japan’s prices.

I am loving this armor. It looks amazing, a work of art – from the overall design down to the little details. The quality is fantastic. It also fit perfectly. I’d like to note that the customer service I received was great, helping walk me through getting the armor sized right.

My armor arrived today. I can not adequately express how happy I am with it. I was only able to put it on and walk around a little today and than set it up for display, but tomorrow I will be sure to give it a more thorough test. Everything seems great though from what time I spent wearing it and it looks perfect on display. I would also like to say thank you for the extra touches you did, I really appreciate it. I am very happy with everything and I will be sure to spread the word as best I can.
