Dragon Armor

Hanwei’s Dragon Armour, named for the helmet crest (mon), is made for the connoisseur of Japanese armours. It faithfully replicates a “Byotoji Do Gusoku” from the Edo period which, like many fine armours, incorporates an earlier helmet bowl from the Momoyama period. European influence on Samurai armour is discernible in the slight median ridge to the front section of the byotoji okegawa do (breastplate) which, by this period, was designed to deflect musket balls...

Full Set of Armor

Our very affordable battle armor, constructed by the craftsmen of Hanwei, is in the yukinoshita do style. It has large solid vertical plates around the torso and incorporates all of the elements of a suit of armor of the period. The crest of Oda Nobunaga is mounted on the helmet. The armor is wearable (within a reasonable size range) and is supplied in a traditional laquered box. There will be a limited number of this armor available.
