About the Item

A Japanese Samurai black-lacquered helmet (kabuto) in suji bachi style and of a goshozan shape consisting of the: - main dome (hachi) made from 16 plates in natural iron riveted together, - neck guard (shikoro) made from 3 separate round-shaped iron plates held together by fabric braids, - protective front visor (mae-zashi), - wing-like or ear-like projections to the sides of the helmet (fukigaeshi), - small opening in the top of the hachi fitted with an ornamental grommet, often resembling a chrysanthemum (tehen kanamono) The kabuto is the helmet first used by the ancient Japanese warriors which in later periods became an important part of the traditional armor of the Japanese samurai, the O-yoroi armor.. In addition to being a practical and vital part of a samurai’s armor, the kabuto was also a symbol of his status and identity. The design was often customized to reflect his personal tastes and preferences. The samurai were considered military nobility much like the knights of feudal Europe. Overall, the helmet is in very good condition and well-preserved given its age. There is obvious pitting to the metal but this is quite normal. The interior liner shows obvious signs of use. If we stop and think about, it is remarkable to be able to hold a helmet that belonged to a samurai soldier who has probably seen many battles in his lifetime. If only this helmet could speak, what tales it would tell. DIMENSIONS: Width: 12.63”. (32.1 cm.) Depth (including neck guard): 13.75”. (34.9 cm.) Height (including neck guard): 9.63” (24.4 cm.)
