    Extra Customization Options


    Gashira (Officer):
    Expertly handmade with quality materials and good attention to detail.


    Crafting Time: 25 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 are the next step up from our “Kachi Class.” Each suit is handcrafted by our experienced katchû-shi (armor smith) at the Iron Mountain Armory. Our craftsman will use quality materials and traditional crafting methods with some modern techniques, tools and advancements in design. Much like the Taisho Class, each suit has been heavily researched, and a lot of care is put into their historical accuracy. The principle difference between the Gashira-class and Taisho-class, is that the Gashira Class is crafted with the practical bowl-style kabuto (simulated laminate) and some other machine stamped parts. Gashira class also feature some small modern design enhancements (like adding grommets and spot welding) to make the armor more robust and easier to main. Our Gashira Class samurai armor is made specifically for collectors, exhibitions, re-enactors and martial artists, who want an authentic “Gendai” samurai suit of armor without the added expenses of the more traditional design and hand crafting methods found in our Taisho class.


    The Gashira class features a more traditional Gendai design over kachi class and include features such as, real animal hair, genuine leather, 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, extra lacing options and included armor storage / display box (yoroi bitsu) with stand. The attention to detail is a big step up from Kachi class, however, due to handcrafting of many parts there might be some blemishes that pass through our QC process. Although we work to avoid and fix blemishes / issues, through the QC process, they are a natural occurrence of handcrafting. Taisho class suits will have fewer (if any) of these blemishes that occur due to high standards and level of detail when crafting and review.

Description

The Egawa no Kiritsuke Kozane is a classical design of a Okegawa Ni-Mai Do, crafted in Gashira Class by Iron Mountain Armory. Featuring a smooth and rounded chest plate, adorned with egawa (leather with painted patterns). The back has kiritsuke kozane (simulated scale) plating, lavished with kebiki-odoshi (full lacing). The okegawa do is hinged on the left, so it can open and close securely over the samurai. This style of samurai armor was typically reserved for higher ranking samurai and Daimyo. The pasterns painted onto the egawa could be geometrical or of mystical beasts, believed to help empower and protect the samurai while in battle.

Keeping with tradition, the katchû-shi (Japanese armor smith) of the Iron Mountain Armory are happy to custom craft your samurai armor, to your wishes. You can select from the many different paint colors, textures and odoshi (lace). You can also select the color and which patter or mystical beast is painted onto your egawa.  Other options as well as sizing are also available.

Features:  Gashira Class

  • Traditional Kiritsuke Kozane Okegawa design
  • Full sized and fully functional.
  • Various paint, cotton odoshi, accessory, customization and sizing options available.   
  • Optional kawa koshi tsuke (removable gasen / kusazuri). Removable Tate-Eri.
Our skilled katchû-shi (armorers) at the Iron Mountain Armory will need at least 4 to 6 weeks, depending on options selected, and other scheduled orders, for the custom handcrafting of your samurai armor set.

Ordering Tips: Iron Mountain Armory recommends that you order one size larger AND one size shorter than the size required, as the armor is close fitting.  The armor can close into itself if too big, but will be a little uncomfortable if fitted too tall. If you’re planning on wearing a yoroi hitatar or a kikko gane do under your armor, we suggest adding 10 cm to your chest size when ordering.  Like other Okegawa Do it features a pin hinge under the left armpit, which can be removed to make it a traditional Ni-Mai Do, after which you can attach a through the hinge.

To see the class differences, please view Kachi Vs. Gashira.

For more information, please review our Order Options Explained, Glossary Terms or FAQ Pages. You can also Contact Us directly. We are always happy to be of service.
