Embrace the Dragon’s Wisdom – Armor of Strategy & Power

Ignite your warrior spirit with the Gunshi Riu Tosei yoroi (strategist dragon samurai armor), a powerful tribute to the ingenuity and martial brilliance of the Sengoku era. This masterpiece captures the evolution of tosei yoroi (modern armor) with its iconic ni-mai dō (two-section cuirass), engineered for the increasingly strategic warfare of the Warring States period.

The armor’s prominent antlers—adorned upon the kabuto (helmet)—embody both the commanding presence and tactical genius of its wearer. Not merely decorative, these antlers symbolize a warrior’s readiness to defend and strike with fearsome precision.

At the heart of this set is the commanding maedate (helmet crest), portraying a wrathful ryū (dragon) deity known for its protection, strength, and prosperity. The wave-cut lower plates of the dō (cuirass) pay homage to the dragon’s mythical origin from the sea, reinforcing the connection between samurai and the elemental forces of nature.

Crowned with a 12 ken suji-bachi kabuto (12-plate ridged helmet) featuring removable long yak hair, this armor offers a bold aesthetic with strong battlefield utility. You may select to enhance the kabuto with fukurin (brass edging) or customize the helmet style to match your clan’s heritage or personal taste.

Our elite Taisho-class katchû-shi (Japanese armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory dedicate themselves to preserving ancient techniques. Each set is handcrafted using traditional methods with only minimal modern intervention, ensuring supreme authenticity and heirloom quality. You can fully customize your armor set—from kabuto, menpō (mask), and suneate (shin guards), to paint finishes, odoshi (lacing), and crest design.
