Handmade Life-Size Japanese Yoroi Masamune Date Samurai Armor Authentic

Background History:

Date Masamune (September 5, 1567 – June 27, 1636) was a prominent regional lord during Japan’s Azuchi-Momoyama period and early Edo period. As heir to the powerful Date clan in the Tōhoku region, Masamune expanded his territory through skillful tactics and strategic alliances. A master tactician, he earned the title "One-Eyed Dragon" (Dokuganryū) due to the loss of his right eye. Despite this, Masamune became one of Japan's most iconic warlords, known for his ambition and fierce leadership.

He founded the city of Sendai and became a symbol of strength in Japanese history. Masamune’s military prowess and vision laid the groundwork for his legacy, and his distinctive Date family crest, often depicted with a unique design, remains a powerful symbol of his influence. His image in battle, both feared and respected, continues to inspire historical narratives of Japan’s samurai era.
