“I’m an experienced collector of high quality samurai arms and armour. Over the years I’ve acquired some great pieces from Shogun Art that form the heart of my collection” - Derek Fairhurst, United Kingdom
FEATURED SAMURAI ARMOR FOR SALEA stunning and rare Edo Period Japanese Samurai Kabuto. Engraved family crests of the Sagara Clan.
The Sagara clan was, in the Edo period, a Daimyo clan which ruled the Hitoyoshi Domain in Higo Province. Hitoyoshi is surrounded on all sides by mountains, making it quite easily defensible, and allowing the Sagara to relatively easily survive their neighbors' attacks during the Sengoku period. Sagara Nagatsune initially fought alongside the Western Army (against Tokugawa Ieyasu) at the Battle of Sekigahara, but secretly sent an envoy to Ieyasu declaring his allegiance. When Ieyasu's forces laid siege to Nagatsune's Ôgaki castle, he granted the attackers entry, thus earning him some relief from Tokugawa enmity. After contributing as well to Tokugawa efforts during the Siege of Osaka, he earned a high reputation for his clan. |

"15 years ago, as a neophyte collector, I purchased my first piece of samurai armour from Shogun Art, after much research. I was struck by the quality of items offered by Monte and his generosity in sharing information and knowledge. My own knowledge has increased exponentially since then and I still treasure the items acquired from Shogun Art. They remain a trusted source of fine samurai items. " - J. Tom, Canada
