SHOGUN PLAN Armor: From left, Sengoku warlord "Kansuke Yamamoto", Edo Samurai, Akazonae

Armor is the protective gear worn by Japanese samurai in battle, and is made primarily from iron and leather. Warlords in the Sengoku period expressed their individuality through the design of their armor. HAGOROMOYA's armor is carefully reproduced by skilled craftsmen to resemble the armor of that time.

Wear in the KIMONO PLAN [Monfuku]

SHOGUN PLAN Haori Hakama: Black, Gray, Light Navy, Smoke

Haori-Hakama is a traditional Japanese formal attire for men, and is also called monfuku. It is a combination of a haori (a traditional outerwear) and hakama (a traditional skirt). It was historically worn by samurai as formal attire, and is now worn at weddings and coming-of-age ceremonies.

Wear in the KIMONO PLAN [Hitatare]

Hitatare is one of Japan's traditional costumes, and is said to have originated from clothing worn by commoners and samurai during the Heian period. It later developed as attire for samurai and aristocrats, and became formal ceremonial wear during the Edo period. It is characterized by a linear design and a loose silhouette, with decorative tassels attached to the chest. Today, it is still worn at gagaku and other classical music venues, and as the attire of sumo referees.

Wearing  in the KIMONO PLAN [Kimono-style]

Kimono-nagashi is a casual style of attire worn by men without hakama when wearing traditional Japanese clothing. It was worn by townspeople in the Edo period as casual wear or for going out. Today, it is popular as a casual style of attire for the hot season.

Wearing the Children's Plan [Shichi-Go-San Costumes]

Children's Shichigosan Costumes: Great Samurai Helmet & Magic Mallet, Hawk and Pine Play, Yellow Kanako and Tsujigahana, Akane no Flower Path

The costumes in the Children's Plan are the ones actually worn during the Shichigosan shrine visit, a traditional Japanese tradition. Shichigosan is a traditional Japanese event that celebrates the growth of children at the ages of three, five, and seven. The three and seven years of age are generally celebrated for girls, and the five year old is celebrated for boys.

It is customary to take photographs wearing kimono and hakama, and to visit shrines and temples .

The kimono worn for Shichi-Go-San are called "Yotsumi Kimono" and "Yotsumi Haori" and are made for children. The costumes worn for Shichi-Go-San are imbued with the meaning of wishing for the child's growth and happiness .
