Oda
Nobunaga
From 1534 to 1582, Oda Nobunaga played a key role in shaping the course of history in feudal Japan. His policy of unifying a country controlled by many feuding daimyo was furthered in a series of victories characterized by brilliant tactics and the first organized use of firearms. His unification policy became a reality under his successor, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, shortly before the end of the 16th century.
Paul Chen's very affordable battle armor (SH2015), constructed by the craftsmen of Hanwei, is in the yukinoshita do style, having largely solid vertical plates around the torso and incorporating 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 the traditional lacquered armor box, which, along with a wooden frame, provides the support for this stunning display.

Reproduction Dragon Armor
The 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. 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 armour 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 armour provide displays of outstanding quality for the den or the dojo. Crafted by the armourers of CAS/Hanwei, the armour 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; 5' 7" 175 lbs). They are supplied in the customary black lacquered box which, along with an included wooden frame, provides the support for the display.
