Tatami Samurai Armor
Folding Armor

Tatami Samurai Armor was born on the battlefields of feudal Japan, forged not for the parade ground—but for those warriors who valued mobility, deception, and speed. Worn by ashigaru (foot soldiers), trusted retainers, and the elusive shinobi (ninja), this folding armor was the answer to a single question: How does one remain protected without being slowed?

Light enough to be hidden beneath a traveler's robe yet strong enough to deflect a blade, tatami yoroi (folding armor) became the favored choice for scouts, messengers, and assassins. It could be carried discreetly, donned quickly, and stored compactly—making it the armor of both the humble and the cunning. In its plates of iron and chain, history remembers a style of warfare that favored precision, agility, and adaptability over brute force.

Today, Tatami Samurai Armor continues its legacy through the hands of Iron Mountain Armory’s skilled craftsmen. Each set is made with respect for tradition and attention to modern needs. Whether you are a martial artist testing technique, a historical reenactor embodying the past, or a collector in pursuit of rare pieces, tatami is your gateway to the most versatile armor in samurai history.

Unlike the rigid suits of the daimyō and taishō classes, tatami armor bends with the body. It can be worn for combat drills, fast-paced LARP engagements, stage performances, or simply displayed as a relic of strategic brilliance. Its interwoven kusari (chainmail) and ita (plates) offer a remarkable blend of comfort and defense that no other armor style can replicate.

But make no mistake—this armor may be light, but its spirit is heavy with tradition. Every knot, every fold, every rivet honors the unseen warriors who moved like shadows and struck like lightning. This is the armor of the unsung. The quick-footed. The calculating. This is the armor of the modern warrior who seeks freedom without surrendering strength.

Do you walk the warrior’s path in silence? Do you strike with precision, not pride? Then tatami samurai armor was made for you.

Claim your set. Embrace mobility, utility, and historical excellence—folded neatly into one remarkable suit of armor.

Kachi Samurai Armor
(Basic Quality)

Kachi “Basic Series” Samurai Armor invites the modern warrior to walk the path of honor without overstepping the limits of their purse. Inspired by the armor once issued to low-ranking samurai and ashigaru (foot soldiers), this series honors the traditions of feudal Japan while delivering practical, battle-ready protection for today's martial artist, reenactor, or cosplay enthusiast.

Forged for those who fight not for title, but for purpose, the Kachi “Basic Series” Samurai Armor draws from the same philosophy that guided the footsoldiers of old—simplicity in form, resilience in spirit. During the Sengoku period, war-torn provinces relied on rapidly produced armor to equip their troops swiftly. These suits were not adorned in gold, but they bore the same courage into battle. That legacy lives on in every Kachi set crafted today by Iron Mountain Armory.

Crafted with economical yet durable materials, each suit is designed to balance affordability with the integrity of traditional design. The lines, colors, and silhouette speak clearly of the warrior’s past, while modern touches ensure comfort and usability. Whether training in the dojo, preparing for your next tatakai (battle) reenactment, or stepping into character at a cosplay convention, this armor delivers both form and function with unwavering reliability.

The brilliance of the Kachi series lies not only in its accessibility, but in its adaptability. These suits are fully modular, allowing you to upgrade individual components over time. Add new suneate (shin guards), replace your kabuto (helmet), or enhance the detailing as your journey deepens. This is not just armor—it is a foundation upon which you can build your personal legacy as a modern warrior.

Even within its “basic” designation, the Kachi series does not compromise on presence. Custom color options and clan-inspired embellishments allow you to stand apart while remaining true to the warrior’s code. Each set is handcrafted with pride, designed not only to protect but to project the honor of the wearer. It is armor for those who understand that spirit, not silk, defines the samurai.

Rise with pride, whether you are taking your first steps on the warrior path or returning to it anew. The Kachi “Basic Series” Samurai Armor is ready to join you on your journey—faithful, flexible, and forged in the memory of those who came before.

Whether you train in martial arts, reenact historic battles, or curate a growing collection, the Gashira series delivers armor that both looks and feels like it belongs in a daimyo's procession. Its layered iron plates, intricately laced kusazuri (tassets), and imposing kabuto (helmet) command respect. But beyond the visual impact lies a deeper purpose—this armor is made to be worn, moved in, and honored through action.

Unlike entry-level suits, the Gashira series offers greater flexibility for customization, allowing you to align colors, crests, and finishes to match your school, persona, or clan affiliation.

Daimyo Samurai Armor
(Collector’s Edition)

Daimyo Samurai Armor (Collector’s Edition) is a regal expression of power, taste, and tradition—crafted not just for battle, but to embody the commanding presence of the daimyō (feudal lords) who once ruled Japan’s provinces with wisdom, strength, and style. This series is for the elite few who demand excellence in every detail—whether displayed in a gallery, worn in a grand parade, or carried onto the battlefield.

Historically, daimyō armor was crafted to impress, to intimidate, and to reflect the wealth and influence of its wearer. These warlords spared no expense, commissioning artisans to combine traditional Japanese techniques with exotic materials acquired through trade with foreign powers. The result was armor unlike any other—functional, yes, but ultimately wearable art.

The Daimyo Samurai Armor (Collector’s Edition) continues that legacy. Each set is expertly handcrafted by Iron Mountain Armory’s senior armorers, incorporating historically accurate patterns and techniques while subtly enhancing the design with tasteful modern materials. These additions do not detract—they elevate, much like the imported silks and rare lacquers used by the daimyō of old to distinguish their armor from the common ranks.

From the grand sweep of the kabuto (helmet) to the intricate lacing of the sode (shoulder guards), every element reflects nobility and refinement. The finishes are rich and elegant, designed to catch light and admiration alike. Each component is fully functional, wearable, and tailored to your measurements—yet the true power of this armor lies in its commanding aesthetic.

Whether showcased in a personal museum, presented in historical exhibitions, or worn for ceremonial and reenactment purposes, this armor will leave a lasting impression. It is as much a symbol of your passion for samurai heritage as it is a testament to your commitment to quality and detail. For serious collectors, it becomes a crown jewel. For reenactors, a showpiece that sets the standard.

Like the daimyō who once ruled from castle strongholds, you understand that presence matters. Power is not only in the sword—but in how you are seen and remembered. This armor is for those who lead, inspire, and elevate every moment into a living tribute to Japan’s warrior legacy.

The Daimyo Samurai Armor (Collector’s Edition) is not merely owned—it is inherited in spirit. Reserve your set and rise above the rest with wearable tradition worthy of a lord.
