Oda Nobunaga and Date Masamune respectively, while Model 1081-GT, based on a
museum piece of unknown provenance, doubles as an exquisite stand for a katana and
wakizashi set. All four pieces are equipped with leather inserts allowing them to be worn.
Custom-designed wooden display stands are included. Thread color may vary.

BATTLE ARMOUR OF
ODA NOBUNAGA

Oda Nobunaga (1534 - 1582) 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. Our very affordable battle armor,
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 the
stunning display.
