Hachi-Gané is a traditional armored headband designed to offer protection, comfort, and distinction to the warrior who wears it. Based on original Sengoku Era (Warring States) designs, this high-quality reproduction features three karute-gane (square steel plates) linked together with kusari (chain links), forming a flexible yet formidable defense for the forehead. Sewn into a dual-layered hachimaki (head wrap) with light padding, it provides both historical authenticity and modern wearability.
Used by both samurai and likely shinobi (ninja), the hachigane was favored for its lightweight design, perfect for duels, travel, or battle scenarios where full kabuto (helmet) protection was not practical. Its protective function helped prevent cuts to the forehead—an injury that could blind a warrior with blood and leave them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. Over time, the hachigane evolved into a mark of prestige and personal style, often adorned with a clan mon (crest).
Iron Mountain Armory is proud to offer custom options for your Hachi-Gané, including material color and the ability to add a clan mon or your own logo to the center plate. Your selected mon will be engraved onto a brass disc and affixed to the headband for an additional fee. Simply reply to your confirmation email with your design file to personalize your gear.
Our expert craftsmen will carefully process and craft your order. Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for processing and careful handcrafting.

I have purchased 2 other hachigane in the past year for around the same price and the quality on this one is far better quality. Simply put if you are looking for a hachigane, this is the one to buy. Super fast shipping too!
My new favorite headband. This is surprisingly comfortable. Under the steel plates, it’s lightly padded on the forehead and the fabric is breathable. I have no idea how to properly tie this to look like the picture but I tied it like a necktie with a half windsor knot. Looks pretty good to me.
My custom hachigane was even more beautiful than I imagined it would be. I just wear it around the house because I am mostly a child inside, and its my house so I can do what I want. The quality is absolutely top notch. This is not a cheap, thin piece of fabric but rather a solidly layered and sewn bit of wearable art. I love it so much. Excellent job.
Love it, its beautiful, great quality and material.
