Handmade Life Size Yoroi,Takeda Clan Red Japanese Samurai Armor

Background History:

The Takeda Clan, ruling from Kai Province, held power for over 400 years (12th to 16th century) in Japan. They rose quickly to become one of the most influential and powerful clans during Japan’s feudal era. The Takeda's family motto—Loyalty and Fraternity—perfectly embodies their warrior spirit. Known for their cavalry charges, they earned the nickname "The Red Army." Their battle cry, "Fu Rin Ka Zan" (Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain), signified their swift, silent, relentless, and immovable nature in warfare.

Takeda Shingen, one of Japan's greatest military tacticians, led the clan in numerous victorious battles, particularly against Uesugi Kenshin in the famous Battles of Kawanakajima. Shingen revolutionized the battlefield with cavalry tactics, turning his samurai warriors into skilled lancers, defeating enemies far superior in numbers. Despite the Takeda's eventual decline after Shingen’s death, they remain a symbol of strategic brilliance and resilience. This exquisite Golden Takeda Clan Samurai Armor pays homage to their rich legacy.
