Great informative series! Your passion for samurai armor and culture really shows through your knowledge and the passion in which you speak about it.
Thank you, I enjoyed making this mini series.
Your seven segments of supplementary samurai suits was SUPER!!! To say the least + one,lol
Haha thank you!!
Great information, awesome vid!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a great series.
I quite like the idea of the manchira cuz it's just one item in place of a half dozen. Seems like it would just feel more secure.
Thanks! If I didn't already have tate-eri on my suit, I would go with one, and have the kikko gane extended to the bottom to replace the armored belt as well. It also feels more "familiar" to me considering my time in European style armor, almost like a mail shirt feels under a cuirass.
Two questions, what da h. plate armor doin in samurai room? Maybe 3 different samurai sets be better 😉and another, you fight in in samurai armor in compeyitions, becose talkin a lot of protection?
East meets West! I have done many competitions in European armor, but not Japanese. Without quite a few modifications, it is not safe for most types of actual combat in modern day context. The helmet / mask, hands, and inner arms being the biggest changes necessary.
Great video, may I ask what your suit cost?
Thank you. It had a lot of customizations at the time. Now, it is available on the Taisho class page on Iron Mountain Armory. I added quite a few extras to the base suit that were not in the standard list by contacting them and asking, not including the supplemental armor pieces. If you're interested in one, check out their site. If you contact them, tell them Samurai James sent you. The owner knows me and will recognize the name.
