Store In Japan Designs Mindblowing Samurai Armor Specially Made For Cats And Dogs
Kandaya, a Japanese pet supply store in Kurayoshi, has turned pet cosplay into something unforgettable. The shop makes armor for cats and dogs, with designs that range from traditional samurai styles to a bold green and purple version inspired by Eva Unit-01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion.
The traditional armor nods to samurai history in the same city where the warrior Satomi Tadayoshi is buried, which gives the whole idea an extra layer of local flavor. Kandaya even rents the armor out for 500 yen per hour, while the Evangelion-inspired version costs twice as much.
It is a strange mix of history, pop culture, and very determined pets, and that is exactly why it stands out.
