I normally buy katanas to decorate my House but man! I'm so tempted to buy a samurai armor, imagine someone coming to you're house and see a samurai armor

I recently went to a temporary samurai showing in a museum, the collection was from the Mueller couple from Dallas their collection is one of the biggest private collections. In the museum I had the chance to put on a hand made samurai armour specially made for guests to try on and it was so cool to wear it and it looked totally badass.

That place looks incredible! <br><br>Too bad they do not have a section discussing the construction of purpose of the various armor pieces. It could be like a mini museum with a small token admission price. I suspect hat it would draw more people and once they know more about the armor, they will want to try them on.

Hi shogo, we were able to go to Japan and visit Kouzu Shokai after watching this episode. We really had so much fun with the warlord experience and would like to come back again next time. The quality of the armors are top tier that made our experience an unforgettable one. Thank you for making a vlog about this kind of experiences.

I just came back from my first trip to Japan and Kyoto and was able to go to Kouzu with a friend! I chose the Honda Tadakatsu armor and my friend chose Takeda Shingen's. The details and attention to armors is absolutely insane. We loved being able to experience and see how you wear a real samurai armor piece after piece and how everything comes together! The staff was exceptionnally friendly and helpful, incredible people! Even if they don't speak English well, we were able to translate via Google in real time without any problem. They were shutting down the current place 2 days after we came and as I understand it they start a very ambitious new project in a bigger and better place! I hope to come back soon to see that! Thanks alot, Shogo, as you made me discover the place a few months ago!

Yukimura’s armour was the coolest looking in my opinion.

I do like the takeda shingen armor depicted with the white fur on the bottom plates, definitely better than the normal smoother finish on the plates in my opinion and makes the armor look fiercer so I like how they chose that depiction of the armor having the fur on it!

This Trailer was so good I was constantly hitting the play/pause button to take in all the details of these beautiful sets of armour.

My favorite are definitely Takeda Shingen and Date Masamune. Takeda Shingen armor is iconic because of his fur helmet. Takeda clan was my first to play in Shogun 2 Total war game. I like him from this moment. Date Masamune looks badass too. The black / dark blue armor with that "half moon" datemono looks very cool. I like that too.
