Historical Information

Samurai were elite warriors who shaped the history of Japan for centuries. They were known for their uncompromising discipline, distinctive armor, and characteristic swords – katanas. They served the most powerful daimyo families and played key roles during conflicts such as the Gempei Wars and epic clashes of the Sengoku period. In the Zvezda set, you will find replicas of weapons and clothing from the late Middle Ages and early modern periods.
