A Closer Look at the Quality:
Samurai Store knows that true Samurai fans could never be satisfied
with the inferior, mass-produced armor that comes out of many parts
of the world. That is why we only offer authentic, life-size, wearable
Samurai Armors and helmets that are 100% handcrafted in Japan by skilled
craftsmen. Each
suit of armor is researched and modeled after examples found in
museums, private collections, temples, shrines, hidden storehouses
of Samurai clans and other historical sources. All pieces are painstakingly
handcrafted by experienced artisans, using authentic methods and
materials. For instance, one of our helmets can consist of up to
42 hand-spliced iron plates, as opposed to the cheap machine-pressed
bowls you may find elsewhere. Even a small header board, splint,
or helmet lining will be completed by a skilled, veteran artisan.
In fact, a single suit of armor may require the specialized skills
of over 20 craftsmen. Furthermore, all of our body armors and helmets
are made solely of iron or genuine leather. We use no plastic, whatsoever.
The results of this commitment to quality are finely finished, superbly
detailed suits of Samurai Armor that look just as incredible on
as they do on display.
Our custom sizing
options allow you to ensure the perfect fit to your body. Our custom
color options and additional accessories ensure the perfect fit
to the décor of your home, office, Dojo, restaurant, or any
other environment you may wish to keep your Yoroi. Whether you plan
on using your armor as a costume, display piece, or family heirloom,
we look forward to working with you to create your own personalized
piece of Japanese history.
