-Halloween campaign—limited time packages-
■Daté Model Special Plan 20,000JPY (plus tax)
Darth Vader's iconic look was based on this famous samurai’s armor. Masamune Daté was one of the most powerful samurai in northern Japan at the end of the Sengoku period, 16th century. We even have a full-scale Lightsaber as a prop for your poses, if you like. This type of armor and Lightsaber are available for photo sessions for a limited time only. This is a must for Star Wars fans and prop enthusiasts!
※ A traditional style Japanese prop sword is also available and included.

■O-Yoroi Special Plan 23,000JPY (plus tax)
O-Yoroi was a full body armor for the general class of samurai in the Kamakura era, around 13th century. This style of costume is rarely seen, featuring elaborately detailed body armor covered with leather. Since samurais often fought with bow and arrows in the Kamakura era, we are offering archery props for a limited time at a 5,000JPY discount off our usual price.
※A traditional style Japanese prop sword is also available.

■Winter Holiday Card Plan 15,000JPY (plus tax)
This is a great value for families who want something a little different than the usual holiday photo cards. This plan offers a family portrait and one individual pose. Your friends and relatives will get a kick out of seeing you dressed as a samurai for the holidays! This Winter Holiday Card Plan includes two shots, one with you wearing armor and one including your family. For singles, it includes 2 fixed-pose shots. If you would like to choose your poses and have a variety of shots, we recommend our Standard Plan.
※Extra fee required if you wear O-Yoroi, above.

We have standard and premium plans, as well. Please check our website for details:
