Sanada Samurai Armor – Crimson Demon Yoroi Custom Made

Crimson Command – Embrace the Spirit of the Last Sengoku Hero

The Sanada Clan Samurai Armor is a powerful Gashira Class reproduction, inspired by one of the most iconic clans in Japanese history, the Sanada. Serving loyally under the Takeda Clan, they carved a legacy of courage, clever strategy, and unwavering devotion. Their most famous descendant, Sanada Yukimura (1567–1615), is remembered as the “Crimson Demon of War” and the “Last Sengoku Hero,” revered for his valor during the Siege of Osaka.

The Rokumonsen crest—six coins believed to be necessary to cross the river into the afterlife—adorned their armor, a bold statement that the Sanada warriors did not fear death. This symbolic defiance made them a legendary force on the battlefield and continues to inspire warriors today.

Crafted by our skilled katchû-shi at Iron Mountain Armory, this yoroi set reflects that fierce legacy. Featuring nami sode and kusazuri (wave-pattern shoulder & skirt armor), a traditional Byō-tōji Yokohagi Okegawa Dō (rivet-fastened horizontal plate cuirass), and a Byō-tōji Zunari Hachi (helmet bowl with riveted accents), this armor pays homage to the bold defiance and proud traditions of the Sanada warriors.

Like all of our Gashira Class armor, this set is fully customizable. Choose from multiple paint finishes, odoshi (lace) colors, sizing adjustments, kabuto, menpō, and more. Our experienced smiths are ready to craft your armor to your exact preferences—whether for martial arts, reenactment, or a commanding display centerpiece.

Gashira (Officer): Expertly handmade from a mixture of quality traditional and modern materials, as well as some modern crafting process. This class of armor is crafted with a good attention to detail. Crafting Time: 20 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 represents the next level up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is meticulously handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory. These artisans pour their warrior spirit into every piece, using quality materials and traditional crafting methods, complemented by modern techniques, tools, and design advancements. Like the Taisho Class, each suit is heavily researched and crafted with great care for historical accuracy. The principal difference between the Gashira and Taisho classes is that the Gashira Class is crafted with a practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some machine-stamped parts. The Gashira Class also features subtle modern enhancements, such as grommets and spot welding, making the armor more robust and easier to maintain. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors, and martial artists who desire an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the additional expenses associated with the more traditional design and handcrafting methods of our Taisho Class. The Gashira Class features a more traditional Gendai design compared to the Kachi Class and includes features such as real animal hair, genuine leather, a removable or interchangeable nose, brass fittings, shoulder padding with kikko (armor plating), traditional butted mail, opposable thumbs, leg/waist support on haidate, extra materials, fittings, riveting, grommets, additional lacing options, and an included armor storage/display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand. The attention to detail is a significant step up from the Kachi Class. However, due to the handcrafted nature of many parts, there may be some blemishes that pass through our QC process. Although we strive to avoid and correct these blemishes, they are a natural occurrence in handcrafting. Taisho Class suits will have fewer, if any, of these blemishes due to the high standards and meticulous review processes.
