The shape of this helmet is one of the most famous forms in Japan. It’s name 燕尾兜ENBIOKABURO, which means swallowtail. The owner of this helmet was a daimyo named Ujisato Gamou(16th century), who was notable for being Christian. We added a cloak to create a European atmosphere. You can have your picture taken in his style at the photo studio“KOBAYASHI“ in Aizu City.
The woman who wanted feminine Japanese armor
Women’s Samurai armor
My female customer had iron armor. But it was so heavy that she could not wear for a long time. So she asked me to make a light armor. She wanted her unique armor to have a special touch so we painted cherry blossoms on her armor plates.
A Very Famous Samurai's Armor
Red Samurai Armor
This red samurai armor is called “赤備えAKAZONAE”. The red dye used was expensive, and red armor was a symbol of strong samurai. So only certain samurai were allowed to wear red armor. We recreated it using red plastic. In modern times, this armor has become the symbol of samurai named Yukimura Sanada (16th-17th century), though this design was created for a TV drama and is not historically accurate.
