    Extra Customization Options


    Gashira (Officer)



    Gashira (Officer):



    Expertly handmade from a mixture of quality traditional and modern materials, as well as some modern crafting process. This class of armor is crafted with a good attention to detail.



    Crafting Time: 20 to 35 Days.



    Materials Used: Bowl style kabuto, steel construction, traditional brocade, hemp, quality cotton, brass, copper fittings with genuine leather & some synthetic materials may be used. (materials may differ depending on model)




    Our “Gashira Class” yoroi represents the next level up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is meticulously handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory. These artisans pour their warrior spirit into every piece, using quality materials and traditional crafting methods, complemented by modern techniques, tools, and design advancements. Like the Taisho Class, each suit is heavily researched and crafted with great care for historical accuracy. The principal difference between the Gashira and Taisho classes is that the Gashira Class is crafted with a practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some machine-stamped parts. The Gashira Class also features subtle modern enhancements, such as grommets and spot welding, making the armor more robust and easier to maintain. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors, and martial artists who desire an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the additional expenses associated with the more traditional design and handcrafting methods of our Taisho Class.




    The Gashira Class features a more traditional Gendai design compared to the Kachi Class and includes features such as real animal hair, genuine leather, a removable or interchangeable nose, brass fittings, shoulder padding with kikko (armor plating), traditional butted mail, opposable thumbs, leg/waist support on haidate, extra materials, fittings, riveting, grommets, additional lacing options, and an included armor storage/display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand. The attention to detail is a significant step up from the Kachi Class. However, due to the handcrafted nature of many parts, there may be some blemishes that pass through our QC process. Although we strive to avoid and correct these blemishes, they are a natural occurrence in handcrafting. Taisho Class suits will have fewer, if any, of these blemishes due to the high standards and meticulous review processes.

    These are optional, and come with additional costs. These Options will override the MAIN PAINT option for ONLY the parts selected here.

Description

Regal Defense – Honor Tradition with Elegant Detail

The Egawa Okegawa Samurai Armor is a refined Gashira Class yoroi (armor set) crafted by the skilled katchû-shi (Japanese armor smiths) at Iron Mountain Armory. This armor features traditional horizontal plating and elevated detailing to showcase rank and dignity without sacrificing battlefield practicality.

At the heart of this yoroi is the egawa (printed leather) adorning the muna-ita, oshitsuke-ita, and waka-ita (upper chest plates), adding texture and character to this noble design. Available in white or fusube gawa (smoked brown), the egawa patterns recall the elite aesthetics of the Sengoku to early Edo periods. Optional fukurin (decorative brass edging) may also be added to further elevate its visual presence.

This set uses a yokohagi okegawa ni-mai dō (horizontal plated, two-section clam-shell cuirass), prized for its durability, shock absorption, and comfort. The horizontal, riveted plates provide a strong structure with less maintenance than traditional scale armor, making it one of the most popular styles during the 16th century.

Choose from a variety of customization options, including helmet (kabuto), face armor (menpō), shin guards (suneate), paint finish, and odoshi (lace) color. You may also request a custom clan mon (crest) to be hand-painted onto the chest of your dō.

Whether for martial arts practice, ceremonial reenactment, or an elegant display, the Egawa Okegawa Samurai Armor blends strength, beauty, and historical reverence.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Gashira Class handcrafted yokohagi okegawa ni-mai dō
  • Egawa printed leather upper plates in multiple pattern choices
  • Optional fukurin brass edging and painted mon
  • Fully customizable helmet, mask, lacing & finishes
  • Wearable & historically accurate for display or training
  • Includes display box & wooden stand

Shipping Information:

Crafted to order by our senior katchû-shi. Please allow at least 2 weeks for detailed handcrafting before shipping.

Armor is strength—adorn yours with the elegance of tradition.

  1. I love my armor!
    Reviewer

    I have always dreamed of owning my very own samurai armor. After 2 years of saving I’ve finally purchased this set and I am soo happy I did. I saw the same set on a Japanese site for 3 times the price, but I have been following this armory for a while and their pictures and reviews are always great and now I see it for myself. The customer service was great too. Michael held my hand throughout the entire order process and even helped me with putting the armor on. Between the service and quality of armor, it made me feel like a real samurai born of nobility.
