Samurai Armour by Hanwei:
Our beautiful traidionally hand made samurai armour has been discontinued by Hanwei in early 2010. We only have a few of each style left available.
Hanwei Dragon Armour:
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
Hanwei Oda Nobunaga Armour:
The Oda Nobunaga Samurai Armour is a fully wearable battle armor, constructed by the craftsmen of Hanwei. This armour is in the yukinoshita do style, having largely solid vertical plates around the torso typical of armor of the period. The crest of Oda Nobunaga is mounted on the helmet. Includes a traditional lacquered armour box, which, along with a wooden frame, provides the support for this stunning display.
Hanwei Takeda Shingen Armour:
Takeda Shingen, ally to Oda Nobunaga, was one of the greatest Samurai
commanders of his day and an astute governor of his people. The armour is
wearable (within a reasonable size range!) and is supplied in the
traditional lacquered armor box, which, along with a a wooden frame,
provides the support for the stunning display.
