Brave warrior, the only thing that can defeat you now are sharp pointy things like pencils. And rough-housing. And sitting on the sofa funny. And rain.
But behold, here is genuine made-in-Japan cardboard samurai armor. The dark armor is patterned after Date Masamune’s, while the red is designed after Sanada Yukimura’s armor.
According to IT Media, each adult-sized set is priced at 2,980 yen (US$27), which might be cheap or expensive, depending on what you think about buying cardboard cosplay.
I think this is pretty cool.
These outfits go on sale this month in Japan, joining kiddy versions that launched late last fall.
