Antique Late Edo Period Hoshi Kabuto Samurai Helmet with Tokubetsu Kicho<\/span> Shiryo Certificate<\/span><\/strong>

\nPeriod: Late Edo Period<\/strong> (appraised by The Association for the Research and Preservation of Japanese Helmets and Armor)<\/span><\/p>\n

The 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

\u00a0Initially, Hoshi Kabuto (\u661f\u515c) was used in the Heian period. Its structure is that vertically long iron plates were connected with studs and pasted together. And each stud was called Hoshi (\u661f, star). During the Edo period, people produced Kabutos whose styles resemble ancient type Kabutos, including Kawari Kabuto. We assume this Kabuto is one of these helmets that was inspired by old-style Kabuto.<\/span><\/p>\n
