This full-sized replica samurai armor is a striking reproduction, believed to be the work of renowned armorer Kōnin. While not antique, it faithfully emulates traditional construction using iron and leather, offering substantial weight and a lifelike appearance. Perfect for display or wear, this piece embodies the grandeur of authentic samurai equipment.
The armor features a twelve-plate helmet (jūni-mai suji kabuto) with lacquered black finishes and a two-plate cuirass (nimai-dō). It is adorned with detailed accents and includes a back banner holder with accompanying cords.
Though previously owned, it has been well-preserved and shows only minor signs of age, including some fading and scuffs. This armor has been carefully stored under the same conditions as other historic items, making it an excellent addition for collectors, enthusiasts, or those looking to elevate their interiors with an impressive display of Japanese craftsmanship.
