Samurai Costume

Step 3 The Kusazuri (upper leg/groin armor)

The Kusazuri is actually done the same manner that the Sode(shoulder) armor is. This time the lames are made 2" wide and 6" long. I used 5 lames for each kusazuri and some samurai armor had them going all the way around the do. I opted for a front one, and 2 side ones. It made it easier to sit ! They should suspend around 4" from the Do.


The cutting, drilling, and painting are the same as the Sode for these pieces.
