The Takeda clan ruled from the Kai providence for 400 years (12th to 16 century). They quickly rose and became one of the most powerful clans in feudal Japan. Their clan motto was Loyalty and Fraternity. They were known for their Calvary charge and for being known as the Red Army. The Takeda banner stated “fu rin ka zan” (wind, forest, fire, mountain) which stands for Swift as the wind, silent as the forest, intrusive as fire, and immovable as a mountain.
This Takeda Shingen Clan Samurai Armor Yoroi is an authentic reproduction made of iron, steel, leather, cotton, silk and other materials that were traditionally used during the Warring States Period of Japan (Sengoku Jidai). Strictly made by hand in the traditional Japanese manner by highly skilled craftsmen. This is a real, life size armor which an average adult (with a height of 5′ 3″ – 5′ 9″ ) can wear and is fully functional. The clamshell dō features a pin hinge under the left armpit which can be removed and a cord can be laced through the hinges to accommodate a larger chest.
The kabuto is made in the hineno-jikoro style having 8 metal plates, and attached to it is a shikoro made from curved iron to protect the neck.
The dō is in the yokohagi okegawa ni-mai-dō style having large horizontal plates with the inside lined in suede. Okegawa refers to the tub-like shape of the dō. There are two types of okegawa dō: yokohagi (horizontal) and tatehagi (vertical). This dō features the yokohagi plates. Ni-mai-dō refers to the clamshell construction of the dō.
The sode and kusazuri are made of lamellar metal plates sewn together. The kote are made from steel splints connected together by chain armor and sewn to a cloth. The haidate is also made of lamellar metal plates sewn together on a cloth and leather.
This yoroi bears the Takeda Shingen Clan mon/crest on the dō.
This fine authentic reproduction of traditional Japanese yokohagi Okegawa ni-mai dō samurai armor is hand made by the Iron Mountain Armory.
