George K (NY, USA)
It is far more elegant and beautiful than I would have imaged from the web pictures. I am extremely impressed by the heaviness of the materials and the lacquer finish..
Daniel Gwee (Singapore)
I was simply delighted by the close fit despite not being custom made; amazed by its relative light weight; thrilled by the superb lacquer finishing and held in highest respect the exquisite craftmanship!
Ronnie Colwell, UK
Now is a great opportunity for anyone who has an interest in the culture of Japan to have a piece of artwork of there own, the workmanship is beyond belief, and the quality is superb...
Daniel Simpson (OH, USA)
An amazing piece of craftmanship. Unique in every way with painstaking detail. Extreme attention to every part of the yoroi.



Product Description

The Ultimate Work Of Iron

This beautiful Yoroi armor is modeled after the battle armor worn by high-ranked samurai during mainly the Muromachi ear of the 1300-1400's. It is brought back to life by our skilled artisans, who meticulously shape each piece by hand. The body armor is constructed with one sole iron plate and we are sure that it is much difficult to build an armor from one plate by hand than using multie plates. The artisan finished this body armor by adding beautiful patterns and a traditional crest with beaten gold. This Yoroi armor comes with all parts and accessories listed in the charts below, and can be worn.

Principle parts of this set are made of iron.

Includes - Specifications

  • Helmet Bowl -Gold lacquered rivetted 18 iron plates Hoshi-Kabuto
  • Neck Guard - Gold lacquered 4 iron plates w/ Dark blue overlay lacings
  • Header Board - Brass Kuwagata & wooden Shishi lion
