Command with the Spirit of the Samurai!

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.)
