Honor the Spirit of the Edo Samurai – Strength Woven in Tradition

The Edo Haramaki Gusoku is a Daimyo Class reproduction of a traditional Edo Era samurai armor set, masterfully handcrafted by the skilled katchû-shi (Japanese armorer) of Iron Mountain Armory. Every curve, plate, and cord of this yoroi is a reflection of the martial pride and spirit of the samurai during the peaceful yet prestigious Edo Period.

The haramaki design, originating from the early 14th century, features a wrap-around dō (cuirass) that ties securely in the back. A unique vertical opening in the rear allows the warrior to don the armor more easily, without distorting its elegant silhouette. To preserve the flawless design, the sei-ita (backboard) elegantly covers the opening, hanging from the watagami (shoulder straps) and tying into the base of the dō. Although practical, during the later Edo era this feature became humorously known among warriors as the okubyo-no-ita — the “coward’s plate” — a tongue-in-cheek nod to the samurai’s wit and pride.

This stunning suit also features a suji-bachi kabuto (multi-plate helmet) crafted with your choice of ken (ridges), paired with magnificent ō-sode (large shoulder shields). The katchû-shi are happy to customize your suit’s lacing pattern, armor finish, or select from exclusive Daimyo Class materials to ensure your yoroi is as legendary as the spirit it embodies.
