Greetings! At Black Hydra Armouries we specialized in Japanese armour. I am no longer taking orders for combat armour. If you have antiques in need of restoration or have a particular historical piece you are interested in having reproduced please contact me.

About us:

I am M.J.Peters (in the SCA Lord Kurodachi no Mykaru) and have been making armour since 1991. My love of japanese armour led me to move to Japan in 2003 where I spent 2 years studying armour with some of the greatest traditional armorers in Japan (actually, asking stupid questions after gruelling armour text translation sessions), and spent as much time as possible examining armour both original and reproduction.

Myself at Matsushita-sensei's shop.
