Trusted Protection for Ashigaru, Shinobi & Samurai on the Move

Kachi Tatami Karuta Yoroi is a historically accurate, lightweight suit of tatami (folding) armor worn by ashigaru (foot soldiers), shinobi (ninja), and lower-ranking samurai during the Sengoku Era of feudal Japan. This practical armor features karuta (small square steel plates) sewn onto a cloth backing to form a highly flexible, easily transportable defense—perfect for long campaigns or stealth missions.

The dō (chest armor) and kusazuri (thigh guards) offer flexibility with small gaps between the karuta, while basic kote (armored sleeves) and suneate (shin guards) use shino (splint) plates sewn to durable linen for a balance of protection and affordability. This economical set is an ideal option for martial artists, re-enactors, LARP, and cosplay enthusiasts seeking functional, entry-level samurai armor. Optional under padding can be added for increased comfort and impact resistance.

Tatami armor was worn by warriors of all classes. While Taishō-class karuta armor was more decorative and reinforced, Kachi Tatami Karuta Yoroi was designed for utility and ease. Its discreet design made it especially appealing to shinobi, who valued mobility and concealability during infiltration or combat missions.

For enhanced versions of this armor, explore our Gashira Tatami Karuta Yoroi for upgraded protection or Taisho Tatami Karuta Yoroi for the highest level of craftsmanship and historical fidelity.
