Wearing a WWII Japanese Army Uniform
Putting on a WWII Imperial Japanese Army uniform and field equipment. The impression is suitable for 1939-1945.
This is our first video so please excuse us for the poor quality! We’ll probably work on future videos that cover kit lists and buyers guides for IJA impressions.

I have been re-enacting WW2 ( German) for over 30 years and have never seen a Japaneese re-enactor in person. This was awsome to see!! Love the uniform!!
now this is a tutorial and reference I needed, thank you mate
Sir.. that was amazing. Well done
Awesome video man! I love comparing uniforms. Biggest one for me is the amount of kit and the rather drawn out time it seems to take to get kitted out for a fight. And I believe the uniforms were wool, were they not? I just can’t imagine! Very cool video. Thanks. Gonna help in my painting my model kits as well.
Loved the video man, can’t wait to see what more videos you guys post, came from Instagram. Would love to see some reenactment videos up on here too! Peace✌🏻
Super Kool vid. Absolutely loved the music too. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Quite a formidable foe once upon a time. Salute of respect to a former enemy. My father turned 18 years old in April 1945. He was a USA sailor in the pacific on missions that mostly involved cleanup operations after Atomic bombs destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I am thankful that my dad was part of the peace process to help Japan and make it one of our Allies.

During the Korean War, that uniform was Used by some korean soldiers and korean police. They even used Japanese rifles (korean police used type 44 rifles). Interestingly, some of the South Korean soldiers used not only Japanese military uniforms, but also North Korean military uniforms. In the early war, the supplies were so poor that even German Nazi uniforms were used. (The German military mark has not been removed Schutzstaffel m-44 German Camouflage uniforms)

Very well done video! Thanks for demonstrating the tying of the helmet!!! I am not Japanese but I’m in the process of restoring a original Type 90 Helmet and am just trying to get it set up properly for my collection.👍
Wow there is a lot of straps that are tied interwoven between the different pieces of the uniform and bags. It must had taken some time for the soldiers to put on their garments. Thanks for the informative video.
Well done. Very interesting and educational
Historic presentation especially with the correct music. Thank you!👍🏻🇺🇸
Very well done. Thank you. I learned a great deal from your presentation. I recently purchased an original, complete with liner, helmet that was brought back to the US. Would be equivalent to the Japanese Marines based on the front insignia. You demonstrated the proper way to tie the straps. Thank you again.

In the Imperial Japanese Navy, steel helmet straps were tied at the back of the head instead of at the chin.
Fascinating! Thank you for doing this since we often see re-enactors for the European and US military forces. It is remarkable to see the kit of a Japanese infantryman. Familiar yet so different based on the culture of Nippon! Thank you.
Well done and thanks!!!

Great video and very informative. It was great to see How to wear every item. I was surprised by the basic design of the Type 99 Tako backpack. It looks like an evolution of the prussian style backpack we use in the parade uniform of the Chilean Army's Escuela Militar (Officer School) and in a simplified form in the NCO School. The "marmita"( I don't know the English Word for the metal food container and pot combination) looks very simmilar. Our packs had a wooden frame and were fastened to the ammo pouches via bronce hooks. But the principle is the same. I also got to use the last model of field pack with the poncho and cloth objects tied in a horseshoe shape around the pack. I understand that contemporary school backpacks used by children in Japan are based on old European Military models, maybe there is a conection but I don't know.

good video, I noticed the IJA tied their puttees different then their western counter parts. I've also notice being a collector/reenactor of WWII uniforms and gear, how the Japanese kit was very simple but functional with greater use of tying parts together. For example, tying the pack to the waist belt verse American counter parts that had clips. Just interesting differences and very well done!
