The Helm of the Tiger of Kai.

Strength.

Strategy.

The spirit of Takeda Shingen.

The Hanwei Takeda Shingen Helm & Mempo is a breathtaking museum-quality reproduction of the armour worn by one of the greatest military commanders in Japanese history. Revered as the "Tiger of Kai", Takeda Shingen was a brilliant tactician whose leadership and battlefield innovations made him one of the most respected Samurai daimyō of the Sengoku Period.

Expertly handcrafted by the master metalsmiths of Hanwei, this exceptional Kabuto (helmet) and Mempo (face armour) faithfully recreates the archaeological original with remarkable attention to historical detail. Every component reflects the artistry, craftsmanship and imposing presence of authentic Samurai armour.

Constructed from steel, the helmet is fully wearable, making it ideal for collectors, historical displays, exhibitions and historical re-enactment. Finished in a striking red colour scheme synonymous with Takeda Shingen's legendary armies, it is supplied complete with a display stand, allowing this magnificent armour to become the centrepiece of any Samurai collection.

As a discontinued Hanwei model, the Takeda Shingen Helm & Mempo is becoming increasingly sought after by collectors, making it an exceptional investment for enthusiasts of Japanese history and armour.

The armour of a legendary warlord.

A masterpiece worthy of display.
