Enhance & Restore Your Samurai Armor with Ornate Hassō Kanamono!

Hassō kanamono (front metal fittings) were essential embellishments on yoroi (samurai armor), strengthening the hassō byō (decorative rivets) while adding an exquisite touch to gusoku (matching armor sets). These ornate metal plates were commonly used in Heian, Edo, and Showa era armor, providing reinforcement and a regal aesthetic. Often gilded, these fittings were both functional and decorative, securing various armor components such as the shikoro (neck guard), sode (shoulder guards), tare (throat guard), nodowa (neck armor), dō (cuirass), and gessen (cuisses).

At Iron Mountain Armory, we uphold tradition by handcrafting each hassō kanamono with meticulous care. Each piece is hand-designed, molded, and individually cast to ensure maximum detail and authenticity. Whether you are restoring an antique yoroi, upgrading a gendai (modern reproduction), or crafting a custom suit, these hassō kanamono will enhance the integrity and beauty of your armor.
