Samurai Armor for Sale
Samurai armor (katchu) is the classic form of Japanese armor — the full battle dress of the warrior: cuirass (do), helmet (kabuto), face mask (menpo), sleeves (kote), and shin guards (suneate), laced together with silk cord (odoshi). Most suits on the market are tosei gusoku, the "modern equipment" style refined in the Momoyama and Edo periods, by armorer lineages such as Myochin and Saotome. Important examples carry certification from the Nihon Katchū Bugu Kenkyū Hozon Kai (Japanese Armor Society). Browse authenticated armor from leading Japanese and international dealers.
