The Taisho Class menpo embodies the samurai spirit, providing both crucial protection in battle and a powerful symbol of status and courage. Designed based on original examples from the Sengoku and Edo periods, this high-quality facial armor was indispensable to samurai warriors, safeguarding the face and ensuring the helmet (kabuto) was secured comfortably and securely.
Traditionally, a samurai’s armor was not just protection—it represented the warrior’s soul, reflecting their strength, honor, and discipline. The menpo was a vital component, serving to intimidate adversaries, protect from blows, and secure the helmet’s cords (shinobi-no-o). Featuring authentic details such as detachable noses (hana), facial wrinkles (shiwa), ear covers (mimi), and throat guards (tare), each menpo crafted by Iron Mountain Armory is meticulously detailed and historically accurate.
Crafted from robust materials and featuring customizable options, including varied mustache styles made from goat or yak hair, paint finishes, and silk lacing, this menpo is perfect for those who value historical authenticity. It is fully functional, fitting existing armor seamlessly, or acting as a striking standalone piece.
Ideal for martial arts practitioners, historical reenactors, or samurai enthusiasts, this piece honors centuries of warrior tradition and offers a tangible connection to Japan’s heroic past.

Customizable mustaches, paint, lace, and nose options
Ideal for display, martial arts, reenactment, and cosplay
