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

WikipediaSanada Yukimura (真田幸村) was a Japanese samurai, second son of the Sengoku period daimyo Sanada Masayuki (1544–1611). His proper name was Sanada Nobushige, named after Takeda Shingen's younger brother Takeda Nobushige, who was a brave and respected warrior. He and his father were known as being excellent military tacticians. Though their army was very small, they won many battles in which they were outnumbered. Sanada Yukimura was called "A Hero who may appear once in hundred years" and "crimson demon of war", and the famed veteran of the invasion of Korea Shimazu Tadatsune called him the "number one warrior in Japan" ( more )

This Yoroi is the faithful reproduction of Sanada Yukimura's most famous suit of armor featuring the beautiful shaped western style chest armor adapted in Japan. It is brought back to life by our skilled artisans, who meticulously shape each piece by hand. The helmet is comprised of 32 separate iron plates, each with its own specific proportions. When joined, they result in the perfectly formed kabuto seen here. It is notable for its characteristic color scheme common to most Sanada clan's armors - rust brown and black. This suit's body armor is constructed by hand, using multiple iron pieces, genuine leather, beautiful silk lacings and elaborately crafted chainmail. This Yoroi comes with all parts and accessories listed in the charts below, and can be worn, if desired.

Principle parts of this set are made of iron.
