Our expert's notes

A stunning set of Red Samurai Warrior Armor from the 2003 Tom Cruise historical drama, The Last Samurai. The elaborate Japanese costumes and weapons were made by the legendary WETA workshop in New Zealand who were also responsible for the costumes on The Lord Of The Rings trilogy for which their design was Oscar nominated. This suit was used throughout the film during many of the battle sequences and during the preparations for battle by Katsumoto’s (Ken Watanabe) villagers.
The costume consists of a full set of outer armor made from durable vinyl and thick cotton straps which includes a 'do' (torso section), a 'kusazuri' (armored skirt or apron) and a pair of 'suneate' (shin guards). These are made from a durable vinyl which is then secured to a patch of thick cotton with matching straps. The costume also includes a dark blue cotton kimono, a pair of 'tabi' (leather socks with double toe), and a red sash belt.
There is no sizing information available on the armor, however the costume remains in good, production used condition.
