Command the battlefield like the legendary Daimyō of Kai with the Takeda Shingen Kabuto, a fierce and commanding piece from Iron Mountain Armory’s Gashira Class. Designed in honor of Takeda Shingen, the “Tiger of Kai,” this kabuto pays tribute to one of Japan’s most brilliant military minds and his fearsome Red Devil Cavalry—a force whose swiftness and strength became the stuff of legend.
Takeda’s military genius was distilled into his enduring motto: Fū-Rin-Ka-Zan (風林火山)—“Swift as the Wind, Silent as a Forest, Fierce as Fire, Immovable as a Mountain”—drawn from Sun Tzu’s Art of War. With this philosophy, Takeda swept across the Sengoku battlefield like a tidal wave of fire and steel, becoming one of the most dominant forces of his era.
This Gashira Class kabuto features a traditionally crafted hachi (helmet bowl), topped with real yak hair and crowned by a striking gold maedate (crest) shaped like a demon’s horned visage. Wide, ornate fukigaeshi (helmet “ears”) display painted egawa (leather symbols) and are further embellished with the Takeda Clan mon engraved in brass—details that honor both history and craftsmanship.
The included menpō (armored mask) is customizable with your choice of mustache style, nose design, and odoshi (lace) color. Choose from a variety of paints, cotton lace colors, and crest finishes to personalize your kabuto and evoke the unstoppable presence of a Sengoku-era daimyō.
Gashira Class Craftsmanship: High-quality materials with historical details at an exceptional value.
Real Yak Hair Topknot: A classic symbol of rank and intimidation.
Gold Demon Maedate: Fierce crest design reflecting the Red Devil legacy.
Engraved Takeda Clan Mon: Brass insignia embedded in the fukigaeshi.
Customizable Menpō: Includes armored mask with your choice of design features.
Traditional & Functional: Full-sized and wearable for training, reenactment, or display.
Each Takeda Shingen Kabuto is handcrafted to order. Please allow 1 to 2 weeks for careful processing and expert crafting before shipping.
| Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 2 to 4 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, for the custom handcrafting of your yoroi. |
|---|
Please note: This kabuto includes a standard display stand. It is displayed with the optional Iki-Ningyo (life like) Stand.
