    Extra Customization 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.

Legacy of Muromachi
The Samurai’s Boldest Statement of Valor

The Odoshi Gashira Samurai Gusoku is a masterpiece of traditional Japanese armor craftsmanship, created to honor the elite samurai warriors of the late Muromachi through Sengoku Periods. This richly laced suit of armor—also known as a gusoku—was favored by the warrior class for its vibrant aesthetic, functional flexibility, and formidable battlefield strength. At Iron Mountain Armory, our Gashira Class version revives this heritage with an expert blend of traditional skill and modern technique.

Crafted with a Tosei Okegawa Ni-Mai Dō (modern two-section breastplate), this gusoku features 14 individual steel plates that are hand-laced together using the traditional kebiki-odoshi style—also known as full lacing. Each row of odoshi (cotton lace) is carefully threaded by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smiths), requiring over 50 hours to complete. The result is an armor set that’s as vibrant and commanding as the warriors who wore it in centuries past.

The impressive ō-sode (shield-like shoulder armor) is adorned with this same full lacing style and may be customized with your preferred color palette or pattern. We can replicate historical color arrangements or create something entirely personal to reflect your modern warrior identity. The intricate lace work not only enhances the armor’s aesthetic appeal, but also represents the dedication, precision, and discipline of a samurai’s life.

Adding to its ornate charm, the gusoku is finished with fukurin (decorative brass edging), and optional egawa (hand-painted or custom-printed leather overlays) that can be personalized with traditional Japanese patterns or a design of your own creation. Even the maedate (helmet crest) can feature your chosen mon (family crest), dojo symbol, or a completely custom emblem.

Every Gashira Class Odoshi Gusoku is fully functional and wearable, yet equally ideal for display in your home, dojo, or office. Whether you’re training in martial arts, performing in historical reenactments, or simply honoring your warrior spirit—this is armor to be proud of.

Note: After placing your order, we will email you to confirm your lace color selections, ensuring your armor is crafted exactly to your vision.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Gashira Class handcrafted with over 50 hours of precision labor

  • 14-piece steel ni-mai dō with full kebiki-odoshi lace

  • Customizable colors, lace, helmet, mask, & mon (clan crest)

  • Optional fukurin edging & egawa leather overlay

  1. Very Impressed
    Reviewer

    I spent several weeks researching about samurai armor as well as reviewing some antiques and new armor made in Japan. Even after reading some of the reviews online and seeing the pictures, I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a Japanese suit of armor that was made in China. However because I couldn’t afford to spend more than $6K on a Japanese made suit I decided to take the chance.
    I received my armor last week and was very impressed with the overall quality. A few minor things here and there under very close examination but nothing at all that was remotely an issue. I don’t have a great knowledge of samurai armor, but from the detailed pictures and illustrations in the Japanese printed books and my research the armor more authentically made than I expected.
    Overall I am very impressed and glad that I couldn’t afford the Japanese made suit. Although I would had liked to have a “Made in Japan” suit, but knowing what I know now, I can’t help but think I would of felt cheated.

  2. True Daimyo Armor
    Reviewer

    I have researched samurai armor but I would not call myself an expert. However keeping with modern standards of quality control and details of historical suits, this suit would be what a Daimyo in the 16th century would had expected to had received from his armor smith.
