Sujibachi kabuto 62-plate samurai helmet Haruta school, Edo period
About the Item
Sujibachi kabuto
62-plate samurai helmet
Haruta school, Edo period
17th-18th century
A lamellar helmet consisting of sixty-two plates joined with five rows of rivets. The surface is lacquered with black urushi, while the sujitate, the folded parts of each lamella, are lacquered in gold.
This color contrast is reminiscent of the akoda-nari type helmets produced by the Haruta school since the Kamakura period. The sinuous curves of all parts of the helmet are also typical of the production of this school, which remained active until the Edo period. Both the swelled tenkokuzan shape of the bowl, and the outlines of the fukigaeshi, the visor and the shikoro (neck guard) show in fact far more pronounced curvatures than those commonly found in this period and reminiscent of the work of Haruta Katsusada.
The five-plate shikoro, made of kiritsuke-kozane (simulated plates), bears two large fukigaeshi decorated in stencilled leather bearing a family crest (kamon) with three ivy leaves (tsuta). The rims, as well as those of the visor, are edged with engraved and gilded metal.
The maedate (front ornament) is made of gilt wood.

- Okitenugui Kabuto Samurai Helmet Shaped as a Head Towel Saika, Early Edo PeriodLocated in Milano, ITOkitenugui kabuto Samurai helmet shaped as a head towel Saika, early Edo period, 17th century The Haruta armorers who moved to Kii province in the early 17th century, took the name from the village where they worked, Saika, near Wakayama, possibly on request of the local daimyo, Asano Yukinaga, a great armour amateur. Specialised in the construction of plate helmets, they produced mainly two typologies of kabuto: one with six plates covered with a chrysanthemum-shaped plate on top and one shaped as a “head towel”, called okitenugui. The latter type of kabuto employs very heavy plates crafted in a curved manner and was improved in order to make it resistant to firearms. This okitenugui kabuto features some distinctive decorations of the Haruta school, including the application of cut-out iron elements, including eyebrows, washers and lozenge-shaped decorations on the sides. The ring on the top, however, is a rare feature and could be used to hold a small war flag.Category
