The Happuri is a historical mengu (facial armor) design originating from Japanās early Heian Period (794ā1185), worn by elite samurai and their retainers. Shaped like an inverted āU,ā this open-face armored mask was designed to protect the forehead and cheeks without restricting vision or breathāmaking it ideal for fast-moving battlefield tactics and long campaigns.
Crafted from iron or leather, the happuri remained a popular choice through the mid-Muromachi Period and experienced a revival during the Edo era. This particular reproduction is modeled after a surviving example from the Heian Era and reflects the minimalist strength and style favored by early warriors.
Iron Mountain Armory handcrafts this Gashira Class Happuri using traditional methods to create a fully functional piece of samurai heritage. Whether used in SCA combat, LARP, cosplay, martial arts training, or added to your display, this iconic facial armor brings historical accuracy and striking visual appeal to any setting.
Each Happuri is made to order by our skilled katchū-shi. Please allow 4 to 7 days for crafting and preparation before ready for shipping.
