Dragon Armor Ref: CI-AH2193
Hanwei’s Dragon Armor, named for the helmet crest (mon), is made for the connoisseur of Japanese armors. It faithfully replicates a “Byotoji Do Gusoku” from the Edo period which, like many fine armors, incorporates an earlier helmet bowl from the Momoyama period. European influence on Samurai armor 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. The plates of the do, with waved edges, are fastened with elaborate shakudo rivets in the form of flowers with gilt centers. This feature illustrates the Japanese preference for a more flexible style of armor than the typical European one-piece breastplate construction. The carrying chest/display seat (hitsu) is black lacquered with the Dragon mon emblazoned in silver on the front panel. Overall, the antiqued patina of the gusoku gives a period appearance and provides a rich addition to any Japanese décor.

Our full-sized suits of Samurai armor provide displays of outstanding quality for the den or the dojo. Crafted by the armorers of Hanwei, the armor 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.
