    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.

    These are optional, and come with additional costs. These Options will override the MAIN PAINT option for ONLY the parts selected here.

Description

Rise as Legend – Lead as a Daimyo of Unshakable Power

Takeda Shingen — the legendary “Tiger of Kai” — was a force few dared to oppose. Revered for his military genius and feared for his relentless power, he commanded the battlefield during the final chaotic years of Japan’s Sengoku Era. Now, Iron Mountain Armory invites you to don the spirit of this immortal Daimyo with our handcrafted Takeda Shingen Daimyo Samurai Armor, a symbol of supreme honor, loyalty, and unbreakable resolve.

This prestigious set is the pinnacle of our Daimyo Class collection, masterfully handcrafted by our senior katchû-shi (Japanese armor smiths) using time-honored techniques with minimal modern intervention. Every plate, every stitch of lacing, and every gleaming accent pays tribute to the power of the past — ready to forge the warrior spirit of a new generation.

The armor features a regal hachi goshozan kabuto crowned with flowing yak hair and a fierce golden dragon maedate (helmet crest). The okegawa dō (clam-shell cuirass) is expertly smoothed and clad in fudog egawa (embossed leather featuring lion-dog designs), radiating authority and refinement. The back reveals kiritsuke iyozane (simulated wide scale plates) — each laced with precision in kebiki-odoshi (full-lacing) to complete the armor’s grandeur.

With over 150 painstaking hours devoted to each gusoku, this is not mere armor — it is an heirloom, an extension of your will, a reminder that true warriors are born of spirit, not circumstance.

At Iron Mountain Armory, we offer you full Daimyo-level customization. You may select custom colors, adjust your lace, modify your helmet or mask styles, and add additional bespoke features to create a suit of armor as unique and powerful as your own spirit.

Key Features & Benefits:

  • Daimyo Class Craftsmanship – Premium materials, fully handcrafted, traditional techniques

  • Full-sized, battle-ready & fully functional

  • Okegawa Nimai-Do (2-section cuirass) with embossed fudog egawa leather

  • 8 Ken Goshozan Kabuto with yak hair, golden dragon crest & customizable options

  • Includes handcrafted display box (yoroi bitsu) & stand

Shipping Information:

Your custom Daimyo armor set will be carefully hand-forged at the time of your order by our senior katchû-shi. Please allow at least 1-2 months for masterful crafting and preparation before shipment.
