Armorer 4th Generation Yuzan

Suzu Koshi Yuzan is a prestigious armor workshop that has been in operation for four generations.
Won the Prime Minister's Special Award at the National New Festival Doll Competition.
Received the Youth Excellent Skills Award from the Governor of Tokyo.
The fourth generation "Yuzan" goes by the name "Ichizo" and is also known as a popular puppeteer who creates the Wanpaku Taisho series.

About 100 years ago, during the Meiji period, the first "Yuzan" Suzuki Kinehachi ran a business selling battle equipment for May dolls. Later, Kinehachi began making armor for May dolls, and began making armor in earnest. A true craftsman, Kinehachi continued to hone his skills and built the foundations for the current Suzuki Kine.

Since then, the eras have passed from the Taisho, Showa, and Heisei eras, and materials and techniques have improved to a degree that is incomparable to the time of Koshihachi, but the Koshihachi craftsmanship spirit has been passed down to the present generation.
Just as the love that parents have for their children remains unchanged from the past to the present, we follow the teachings of our first "Suzu Koshi" and devote ourselves to making armor with solid skills and passion.
