Uesugi Kenshin ~ Statue In Armor ~

With this item, we try to recreate Kenshin's divine character. The armor Kenshin's statue wears has been perfected on the base of research on "Mogami-Kabuto", the kind of armor that has been loved by the House of Uesugi. All producing processes were executed in the same way as the original made 400 years ago. Although this item is only 1/4 scale of the original, each piece of "Kozane" (the scale shaped iron leafs of which the armor is composed) is produced so elaborately that you can feel a kind of delicate beauty from the armor. Cardinal of "Odoshi" (lace used to connect the iron leafs) matches so well with the Black of "Kozane", giving a sense of elegance which is appropriate for Kenshin's image. The "Oreeboshinari-Kabuto" (helmet) painted with gold foil is one of its producer, Mr. Miura's best works invested with top class techniques.
