Handmade Life-Size Yoroi,Red Yukimura Sanada Samurai Armor with Deer Antlers

Product Background:

Sanada Yukimura (1567–1615), born as Sanada Nobushige, was one of the most legendary samurai of Japan's Sengoku period. He is most famous for his heroic role in the Siege of Osaka, where he was hailed as the 'Hero of the Century' and 'The Last Sengoku Hero.' Yukimura was known for his exceptional combat skills and unwavering loyalty, standing as a symbol of honor and bravery in Japanese history. His valor on the battlefield, especially during the Winter and Summer Campaigns of Osaka, earned him the nickname 'The Crimson Demon of War.' Despite his eventual demise, Yukimura’s indomitable spirit and commitment to his family have left an enduring legacy in Japanese culture.

Sanada Yukimura’s Life and Legacy

Born in Shinano Province (modern-day Nagano), Yukimura was the eldest son of Sanada Masayuki, a feudal lord who frequently shifted alliances during Japan's fragmented Sengoku period. Yukimura first saw battle at the Siege of Ueda and later played a pivotal role in the Battle of Sekigahara. His most famous military campaigns, however, occurred during the Siege of Osaka (1614–1615), where he led the defense of Toyotomi Hideyori against the advancing Tokugawa forces under Ieyasu Tokugawa.

Yukimura’s most iconic strategy was the defense of the Sanada Maru, a defensive position that made brilliant use of the terrain to fend off the far superior Tokugawa army. Despite overwhelming odds, Yukimura and his forces fought valiantly until the very end. His courage and commitment to his cause earned him admiration from both allies and enemies alike, including Shimazu Tadatsune, who called him "The best warrior in Japan."
