Sohei or battle monks were mighty warriors of Sengoku period in japanese history. Their image is pretty popular in folk culture, so even ninjas used their image as a disguise. Now you can try it on yourself! Actually their outfit is typical for pilgrims - special robe and comfortable short hakama trousers are the best for long walk. Just add some weapons and peaceful buddha servant turns into dangerous fighter.

Please note - no headdress or footwear are included, just add to the basket any you want as separate order.

The default material is cotton with a weight of 240g (8.5oz) for outer clothing and lighter one for juban.

If you have some specific wishes about sizing of your costume just contact us or leave a comment to the order with your actual measurement and we'll make in a proper size.

Please note - we make every single pair in a custom way so we'll need some time (usually from a couple of weeks to month) to sew your personal sohei costume.
