The Art of the Samurai

Marutake Sangyo is a renowned manufacturer of authentic samurai yoroi armor and helmets, meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans at a workshop designated as a Traditional Craft of Kagoshima Prefecture.

Following centuries-old techniques, each piece is faithfully reproduced with unparalleled attention to detail. Crafted from iron, brass, and deerskin, every armor and helmet is shaped for both form and function, preserving the spirit of the samurai.

Marutake Sangyo has been entrusted with restoration and reproduction projects for shrines, temples, and museums throughout Japan, and its works have appeared as costumes in numerous films and television dramas, including the Emmy-award-winning series SHŌGUN (2024).

These creations embody not only protection and strength, but also the grace, discipline, and artistry of Japan's warrior culture.
