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..

A Closer Look at the Quality
We at Samurai Store International know that true Samurai fans could never be satisfied with the inferior, mass-produced armors that come out of many parts of the world. That is why we only offer authentic, life-sized, wearable Samurai armours and helmets that are 100% handcrafted in Japan by skilled craftsmen.
Principal parts of the armors and helmets are made of iron or genuine leather, never with plastic. 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.
All pieces are painstakingly handcrafted by experienced artisans, using authentic methods and materials. 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 30 craftsmen. Note how all of the iron pieces for both the body armor and helmets are being fashioned by hand. Our parts are never machine- pressed, as with other manufacturers. The skilled artisans store the precise designs, details and measurements in their heads and in the muscle memory of their hands, as it takes 5-10 years to become an accomplished craftsman in this team.
