Own the Armor That Defined an Era
Begin Your Samurai Journey Today!

The Okegawa Kachi Samurai Armor is the original and most sought-after set in our Kachi Samurai Armor series, expertly crafted by our apprentice katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith) at Iron Mountain Armory. Modeled after one of the most iconic designs of the Sengoku Era—the Tosei Yokohagi Okegawa Ni-Mai Dō—this armor set represents the perfect blend of practicality, protection, and timeless warrior aesthetics.

“Tosei” means “modern,” referring to post-1520 A.D. innovations in samurai armor-making. The Okegawa design revolutionized the battlefield with its horizontally overlapping lames (iron strips), which were riveted or laced together. This structure was more efficient to produce, offered superior durability, and adapted better to the evolving combat conditions of the time—including the introduction of European firearms. It became one of the most common and trusted armor types during the last century of the Sengoku period.

With each suit, your journey into samurai tradition is personalized. The Okegawa Ni-Mai Dō cuirass forms the foundation of this set and is painted, smoothed, and laced by hand in your chosen color and style. The kabuto (helmet), menpō (mask), and suneate (shin guards) can be selected and swapped to suit your aesthetic or historical preferences via the Extra Options menu.

Whether worn for martial arts, collected as a statement of cultural admiration, or displayed with pride in your home, this full-sized, fully functional armor set is your first step toward building your legacy. Add a traditional display box and stand for an even more impressive presence.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Kachi Class Armor: A cost-effective introduction to traditional samurai armor.
  • Okegawa Ni-Mai Dō: The most iconic two-section cuirass with horizontal lames.
  • Customizable Components: Change helmet, mask, and shin armor via Extra Options.
  • Display Ready: Optional display box and stand available.
  • Paint & Odoshi Color Variations: Choose your preferred finish and lacing.

Product Crafting Time:

Please allow our skilled katchû-shi at Iron Mountain Armory at least 7 to 10 days to process and handcraft your Okegawa Kachi Samurai Armor. Additional time may be required for customizations.

Let this armor be more than just a piece in your collection—make it the beginning of your samurai story.
