    Extra Design Options


    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 & and some synthetic materials might 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.

Rise with the Legacy of the Six-Sectioned Dragon

The Kiritsuke Kozane Roku-Mai Samurai Armor is a masterful reproduction of a traditional tosei (post-1550 modern) design, crafted with skill and dedication by the artisans of Iron Mountain Armory. Inspired by the armor worn during Japan’s most turbulent era, this yoroi brings the spirit of the Sengoku warrior to life for the modern samurai.

The Roku-Mai Do (six-section cuirass) consists of three panels in the front and three in the back, all hinged together for flexible movement, except beneath the right arm where it is tied. When tied under both arms, it becomes a Ryo-Hikiawase Roku-Mai-Do — a “pulled-together on both sides six-section cuirass” known for its strength and agility on the battlefield.

This striking samurai armor features kiritsuke kozane — simulated scale plates forged onto a solid ita-mono (single steel plate). Each section is expertly laced in kebiki-odoshi style (full lacing), delivering the traditional look of layered armor while maintaining durability and maneuverability. You can personalize the odoshi (lacing) colors, opting for traditional patterns or creating your own warrior’s design. Simply send us your specifications before or after placing your order.

The armor includes a simulated 8-ken hari-bachi kabuto (bowl helmet) trimmed with elegant copper fukurin along the edges of the kabuto, , and ō-sode (large shoulder guards), adding a regal touch to this fearsome warrior’s armor.

Keeping true to samurai tradition, Iron Mountain Armory offers many customization options, allowing you to tailor your yoroi to your personal warrior spirit. Change the helmet, menpō (face mask), accessories, sizing, and more. Our skilled katchû-shi will ensure your armor is a true extension of your warrior’s heart.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Gashira Class crafting

  • Full-sized and fully functional

  • Variation of paint, high-quality cotton odoshi colors, and traditional features

  • Includes deluxe display box and wooden stand

  • Customization options for colors, accessories, kabuto, menpō, and sizing

Shipping Information:

Handcrafted with care and precision. Please allow at least 3 to 4 weeks for crafting and preparation before your custom samurai armor set is ready to ship.
