Command the Battlefield with the Power of the Demon Lord

In Japanese folklore, akuma are powerful and fearsome demons, embodying strength, wrath, and resilience. Samurai warriors revered and feared these formidable beings, often adopting their fierce imagery to harness their strength and instill terror in their foes. The Akuma Kōshaku Menpō (Demon Lord’s facial armor) brings this legendary spirit vividly to life, embodying the intimidating power of these mythical creatures.

Handcrafted with precision, this Taisho Class menpo features prominent kiba (fangs), meticulously detailed facial wrinkles (shiwa), attachment posts (odayori ore kugi), detachable nose guard (hana), ear covers (mimi), and a protective throat guard (tare). Samurai believed such fearsome facial armor granted them supernatural protection, empowering them to stand courageously against both physical enemies and malevolent spirits.

Beyond protection, historical menpo also served the crucial purpose of stabilizing the shinobi-no-o (helmet cords) around ore kugi (L-shaped posts), ensuring a secure and comfortable fit during intense combat.

Iron Mountain Armory’s Akuma Kōshaku Menpō is fully sized, functional, and crafted using traditional techniques, making it perfect for historical reenactments, martial arts, LARP, cosplay, or as a powerful centerpiece in any collection. Enhance its formidable presence further with optional brass trim (fukurin) and customizable mustache styles (horse or yak hair).

 

Key Features & Benefits

  • Traditional handcrafted Taisho quality design
  • Full-sized and fully functional
  • Customizable mustache styles (horse or yak hair)
  • Optional brass trim (fukurin) available
  • Multiple options for tare, paint, and silk lacing

Shipping Information
