    Extra Customization Options


    Gashira (Officer):
    Expertly handmade with quality materials and good attention to detail.


    Crafting Time: 25 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 are the next step up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smith) at the Iron Mountain Armory. Our craftsman will use quality materials and traditional crafting methods with some modern techniques and tools. Much like the Taisho Class, each suit has been heavily researched, and a lot of care is put into their historical accuracy. The principle difference between the Gashira-class and Taisho-class, is that the Gashira Class is crafted with the practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some other machine stamped parts. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made specifically for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors and martial artists, who want an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the added expenses of the more traditional design and hand crafting methods found in our Taisho class.


    The Gashira class features a more traditional Gendai design over kachi class and include features such as, real animal hair, genuine leather, removable or interchangeable nose, brass fittings, shoulder padding with kikko (armor plating), butted mail, opposable thumbs, leg / waist support on haidate, extra materials, fittings, riveting, extra lacing options and included armor storage / display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand.

Description

This Yokohagi Suso no ita Gashira Samurai Armor is crafted by our senior katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith), at the Iron Mountain Armory. It uses one of the most iconic armor designs called “Tosei Yokohagi Okegawa Ni-Mai Do,” which loosely translates to a “Modern” Two Section Cuirass with Horizontal Plating Joined by a Pin Hinge. It can add the buji-taki (rivets) as an option.  Yokohagi Suso no ita is a general term for the lowermost lame on an item or armor, such as the shikoro, sode or tare.

The Okegawa Ni-Mai Do became one of the most common armor designs used during the last 100 years of the Sengoku Era.  This Do is crafted from overlapping individual lames (metal strips) that are smoothed over, then painted and laced with your choice of color.   The kabuto (helmet), menpo (mask) and suneate (shin guards) armor style can be changed or customized upon your request.

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 5 to 7 weeks for crafting of this item.

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