Japanese Suits of Armor
| These full-sized suits of Samurai
armour provide displays of outstanding quality for the den or the
dojo. Crafted by the armourers of CAS/Hanwei, the armour is authentically
detailed and completely realistic. These very affordable pieces
are made with traditional styling and materials and are wearable
(within a reasonable size range!). They are supplied in the customary
black lacquered box which, along with an included wooden frame,
provides the support for the display. |
| These two gusoku are patterned after
the battle armour of two of Japan's most famous Daimyo or warlords.
Oda Nobunaga played a key role in initiating the policy of uniting
the fueding clans under one Shogun and was the most powerful Daimyo
of his time, while his ally Takeda Shingen was one of the greatest
Samurai commanders of his day and an astute governor of his people. |
| Oda Nobunaga (1534 -- 1582) played
a key role in shaping the course of history in fuedal Japan. His
policy of unifying a country controlled by many fueding daimyo
(warlords) was furthered in a series of victories characterized
by brilliant tactics and the first organized use of firearms. His
unification policy became a reality under his successor, Toyotomi
Hideyoshi, shortly before the end of the 16th century. This
very affordable battle armor, constructed by the craftsmen of Hanwei,
is the Yukinoshita Do style, having largely solid vertical plates
around the torso and incorporating all of the elements of a suit
of armor of the period. The crest of Oda Nobunaga is mounted on
the helment. |
