Description

This striking Gashira Class Armor, has been crafted in tribute to Yamamoto Kansuke  (山本 勘助, 1501 – 1561). Kansuke was a Taisho samurai of the Sengoku Period who was known as one of the “Twenty-Four Generals of Takeda Shingen“.  Yamamoto was a loyal and remarkable strategist. He is remembered for his victorious strategy in the Fourth Battle of Kawanakajima, against their rival, Uesugi Kenshin.  Takeda and Kenshi would fight five battles with the fourth being a decisive victory for Takeda, in which, Kansuke was credited for. Kansuke never lived to see this triumph.

Thinking his plan would be unsuccessful and risk failing his lord, he charged headlong into the enemy ranks. As a result he died a glorious warrior’s death, yet still secured the Takeda victory. Our armor smiths crafted this yoroi set with a hachi zunari kabuto (helmet) and okegawa dō.  The kabuto is adorned with natural water buffalo horns to personify and commemorate his prowess on the battlefield.  

His steadfast devotion and fearlessness when charging into battle set him apart as a legend. This is one of our most popular samurai armor sets. You will know why when you have it displayed in your home or are wearing it for a reenactment!  Also available in Kachi and Taisho class.

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.

The skilled katchû-shi at the Iron Mountain Armory handcraft this product at the time of your order. Please allow 4 to 5 weeks for crafting of this item.

To see the class differences, please view Kachi Vs. Gashira.

    Amazing quality! The detail and craftsmanship is very impressive. The armor looks great in our home and everyone is very impressed when seeing it. Thank you very much.

  2. Rated 5 out of 5

    FREAKING AWESOME! –

    THIS IS THE REAL DEAL. JUST TAKING THE PARTS OUT OF THE BOX I COULD SEE AND FEEL THAT THIS IS REAL ARMOR THAT I WOULD IMAGINE A TRUE SAMURAI WOULD WEAR. THIS ARMOR WOULD NO DOUBT STOP A SWORD. MONEY WELL SPENT!

  3. Rated 5 out of 5

    Quality for price –

    I ordered the Kachi (low end) model. I really wasn’t expecting too much but I was pleasantly surprised about the finished quality. I am kind of wishing I upgraded to the next model up to get the little extras now, but I really can’t complain. For the price I paid I am very happy with the armor and the service I received.

  4. Rated 5 out of 5

    HIGHLY RECOMMENDED –

    Beautiful –

    I am in love with my suit. The horns are real and the entire suit simply looks amazing. I am so very happy with my purchase and experience with the customer service.

  7. Rated 5 out of 5

    I love it! –

    I love this armor set. It is absolutely amazing and exceeded my expectations, even after reading the other reviews. There are usually always one or two star reviews for products from less than satisfied clients, but honestly I can see why everyone gives 5 stars. Between the quality of armor and level of customer service it is an easy 5 star rating for me!

  8. Rated 5 out of 5

    I wear this often –

    I wear this often. Fits like a glove and I give this site’s info out like crazy at events. Everyone wants their picture taken with me, wifey was pissed when I bought it but got over it quick and loves the attention it brings. Looks boss in the war room at our new house too.
    I’ve worn it at Renaissance fairs, events at the Worcester art museum, random events and costume parties at local venues.
