Vintage Japanese Samurai Armor Yoroi – Ryugyoku Genji Armor
This is a vintage Japanese samurai armor display set made in Japan in 1985 by Japanese armor craftsman Ryugyoku.
The armor features a striking gold dragon maedate holding a genuine Green Agate gemstone, pure gold-plated decorative fittings, three-color odoshi lacing in pink, white, and deep navy, elaborate Japanese textiles, and detailed decorative metalwork.
A gem testing certificate for the Green Agate is included.
This is a decorative display armor set only.
It is not wearable and must not be used for protection, cosplay, reenactment, or martial arts practice.
GOLD DRAGON WITH GENUINE GREEN AGATE
The centerpiece of the kabuto helmet is a powerful golden dragon ornament rising between the large kuwagata.
The dragon was carved from wood by a craftsman and holds a genuine Green Agate gemstone.
The included gem testing certificate identifies the stone as natural chalcedony / agate.
The deep green gemstone creates a beautiful contrast against the brilliant gold dragon and gives the kabuto a distinctive and memorable appearance.
PURE GOLD-PLATED DETAILS
The decorative gold-colored fittings are finished with pure gold plating.
The brilliant gold contrasts beautifully with the dark armor sections, white cords, deep navy textiles, and colorful odoshi lacing.
THREE-COLOR ODOSHI
The armor features odoshi lacing in pink, white, and deep navy.
Odoshi refers to the traditional cords used to connect kozane plates and other armor sections.
The three-color combination adds depth and refinement while balancing the rich gold decoration.
GENJI / KAMAKURA-STYLE DESIGN
The accompanying nameplate identifies this piece as Genji Armor.
Its design is inspired by Japanese samurai armor associated with the Kamakura period.
This armor itself was made in Japan in 1985.
It is not an original medieval battle armor set. It is a vintage Japanese decorative work inspired by historical samurai armor traditions.
JAPANESE DECORATIVE CRAFTSMANSHIP
The armor incorporates elaborate patterned textiles, floral motifs, pure gold-plated fittings, and detailed metalwork throughout.
The combination of the gold dragon, Green Agate, richly woven fabrics, and layered armor construction gives this piece both a strong samurai presence and the character of Japanese decorative art.
