The Gunbai is a revered war fan and command baton used by Daimyo, Samurai Taisho (generals), and Gashira (officers) to assert authority and lead troops both on and off the battlefield. Worn on the armor or carried as a family heirloom, the Gunbai symbolizes rank and the right to command, and was often passed from father to son. Unique in design and crafted from solid wood—or layered iron and wood—the Gunbai not only serves as an emblem of honor but can also be used defensively against surprise attacks, swords, or arrows.
These economical yet striking samurai war fans are perfect to complement your armor set, home decor, cosplay, or LARP kit. They can be easily attached or tied to your armor, pack flat for transport, and are fully customizable. Iron Mountain Armory is pleased to offer personalization with your samurai clan mon or a custom mon/logo. (Please note: The mon are hand painted and may have slight blemishes. If you request a Custom Mon, please reply to your order confirmation with your mon or logo attached. We can only print one-color “clip art” style logos. Selecting “No Mon” will mean no mon is painted on your fan.)

One of the great extras one may need to complete his yoroi display!
Great item. Deserves 5 stars if only for existing, it being such a a niche product within such a niche market. But also the quality, especially given the price, is very good indeed. Any minor shortcomings in the finish would only be the minor overspray, wich cannot be avoided with a spray on technique and is so easily corrected with only minor effort and materials, that it is hardly worth mentioning and is warned for in advance, and let’s face it you cannot be fairer to your customer than that as a manufacturer. So 5 stars well deserved as far as I’m concerned!
All in all a very nice gunbai. I am happy. Not perfect, but to be honest I’m going to age this anyway so it will look old. Not as big as I imagined. Some originals are 52cm while this one is only 37cm. But it displays well with my original Edo period Gusoku
Black lacquer not evenly applied.
