Let’s face it — we’ll never be able to hang real Japanese samurai armor in our closets, let alone wear them. But we can pretend to be a legendary warrior, and these wearable cardboard samurai armor for adults look like they’ll be perfect for such occasions.

They might be made of cardboard, but they’re as detailed and impressive as any armor made of cardboard could ever be. What makes us love them even more is the fact that both armors are designed after legendary Japanese warriors — Date Masamune (Black) and Sanada Yukimura (Red).

Each cardboard armor set is priced at 2,980 yen (27 USD) and comes with 9 pieces of cutout cardboard parts and plastic screws. The armor is adjustable, too, and comfortably fits anyone 150cm (4’9") to 180cm (5’9”) tall.

The cardboard samurai armor for adults will be released later this month, so you’ll barely have to wait to deck yourself out in the dress of a Japanese warrior. They’ll be sold at stationary stores nationwide.

And if you want cardboard samurai armor for the whole family, you can also purchase the kid versions that were released last fall.
