Antique Samurai Helmet Sanjyuni Ken Kabuto with Kicho<\/span> Shiryo Certificate<\/span><\/strong>
\n\"\"
\nPeriod: Mid Edo Period<\/strong>\u00a0(appraised by The Association for the Research and Preservation of Japanese Helmets and Armor)<\/span><\/p>\n

Prime Material: Iron<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Suji Kabuto consists of many small riveted iron plates to form its shape. This helmet has Sanjyuni (thirty two\u00a0 in Japanese) iron plates. <\/span>Suji means a stripe in Japanese, and you can see 32 stripes in this helmet. A high-class Samurai might have owned this helmet.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The Kabuto (\u515c, helmet) is a protector for the head. When people started using the Kabuto, it was initially designed for practical use. However, the principal purpose of its design has changed with time; Samurais tried to express their dignity, personality, or religion by wearing the characteristic design Kabutos. According to a theory, these unique designed Kabutos were made from the late Muromachi period to the Edo period. This type of Kabuto is categorized as the Kawari Kabuto (\u5909\u308f\u308a\u515c), and a variety of materials were used to create them. For example, animal fur, seashells, plants, and papers were used as materials for decoration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Before the Kawari Kabuto’s production, the Suji Kabuto (\u7b4b\u515c) has appeared during the Nanbokuchou (\u5357\u5317\u671d, 1337-1392) period. At that time, the tactic was gradually changed from the piggyback fight style to battle with the Tachi (\u592a\u5200) sword and the Naginata (\u8599\u5200, Japanese halberd) on the ground. Therefore, there was a rise in demand for the weight saving of the Kabuto. Also, in order to turn the attack by swords, a new type of structure was invented; it is the Suji Kabuto (\u7b4b\u515c). Its form slides swords’ attacks when weapons hit the Kabuto. It is said that the production of the Suji Kabuto prospered in the Muromachi (\u5ba4\u753a, 1336-1573) period.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Please focus on the Fukikaeshi (\u5439\u304d\u8fd4\u3057) part. You will find the circle-shaped golden mark. It is a family crest and is categorized as the Maru-ni Takeda Bishi (\u4e38\u306b\u6b66\u7530\u83f1) pattern. As Takeda (\u6b66\u7530) family used the Takeda Bishi (\u6b66\u7530\u83f1) pattern for their family crest, it probably has any relationship with the Takeda family.<\/span><\/p>\n
