 |
|
I have always found medevil Japanese armor to be facinating and beautiful and have always promised myself to learn more about and add some reproductions to my collection. After spending a lot of time sloging through usless sites I thought I should asks the ppl that would be in the know hehe Has anyone out there found any good links to collections and quality reproduction retailers?
I have lurked these forums for a while now and this is my first post. I would just like to say that this site is an amazing source of information many thanks!

A fellow on Sword Forum International was talking about putting together an outfit of Japanese armor and someone linked to a website with many absolutey beautiful reproductions of Japanese armor. I'll post here if I find the site again.
Edit: found it: http://www.kozando.co.jp/english/index_e.html
I have no idea about the functionality or prices, but holy crap this stuff is beautiful!
and here's the thread: http://forums.swordforum.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=34377
hope this helps!

that is a much better selection. looks as if the samurai were not major proponents of stealth and subtlety.
