Got A Replica Yoroi High Class

[Kai-Gunto]

Hi,

I know its a replica ,but its so well made by Konin, Japan.Its made of multi scales , kozane. 32 plate kabuto.

I have been looking for one for a long time. I dont have it now ,but its on its way

 

[Fuuten]

Thats great! Now you can actually imagine how they would've looked when in good condition (not to say there aren't any of those left, but generally you see armor or kabuto that are damaged).

 

Thank you for sharing, i hope you'll enjoy it for a long time

Congrats Thomas,

looks nice. Obviously not one of these cheap replicas seen commonly on the market. Pics a bit small, though.

Awesome Thomas! Just awesome, nice mempo too:)

[Kai-Gunto]

Got the kote mounted. Just need a iron tessen with gold washi and red sun. New tenugui and a pair of kegutsu.

[Kai-Gunto]

I dont know why my photos a turned.

[Brian]

Cellphones do that on forums. There are lots of articles why.

You must run them through a picture editor like photoshop etc, and save them correctly.

And where did you get the pants! Or were they part of it, I'd love me some of those (not pink percé, but looks great!).

[Kai-Gunto]

I found the hakama on ebay too. Didnt bother with the length ,since they shall stop under the knee.

[Greg F]

I agree the hakama look good with the armour. Where did you get the shoes? I bet your looking forward to the next fancy dress party!

 

Greg

[Kai-Gunto]

I got the tabi and waraji from bay too.

 

The hakama is vintage and I payed prox. 50 usd. If I schould buy the real yoroi wear , it cost prox. 900 usd.

 

Im looking forward to 2 days at the Copenhagen Sakura festival end april. My son gonna wear a armor too.

[Fuuten]

I think i'm speaking for everyone here if i say we want to see the pictures of the duo!

[Kai-Gunto]

I upgraded my outfit with a Hankyu yumi , a smaller version of the normal yumi.

Since im not gonna shoot with and dont wanna put too much money in that, i made one myself. Heres how it looks at the moment , but im waiting for the bow string and handle leather with dragonflie print.

 

And NO, its NOT a coral snake

[Greg F]

Excellent Thomas. I'm no Japanese bow expert but looks great. After seeing this thread I got some of the same tabi and found them to be more comfortable than I expected. Any plans for arrows and quiver? Cheers.

 

Greg

[Kai-Gunto]

Thanks. Tabi is very comfortable. Im gonna wear some kegutsu , shoes with hair for battle like in the early times.

I got a homemade quiver ready and 12 arrows are on the way in the mail.

[Kai-Gunto]

Heres a photo of my gear.

I got this ryu maedate for my kabuto.

[Greg F]

Hi Tnomas, looking good. Btw do you know the weight of the kobuto complete? Just curious. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

 

Greg

[Kai-Gunto]
