\nPeriod: estimated Mid-Late Edo Period\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
Prime Material: estimated Wood\u3000<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0We classify this item as a type of the Jingasa (\u9663\u7b20). It is usually made from metal or leather, and Ashigaru (\u8db3\u8efd, infantry) and low-ranked soldiers wore it. They substituted it for Kabutos (\u515c, Samurai helmet). Since the tactics of placing infantry on the front lines became the mainstream, it was a primary matter of how the infantry gained high mobility. Therefore, they wore simple armor with minimal functionality to protect themselves, unlike the luxurious armor of high-ranked Samurai warriors. Crests or marks were drawn on the front of the Jingasa to make it a sign for judging each affiliation. \u00a0In the Edo period, people finally welcomed the times of peace. There was a growing trend towards decorative enjoyment, such as designing weapons and armors or how to wear them. Of course, the Jingasa was also included in this tide. Samurai warriors started using Jingasas as a tool to show the wearer\u2019s identity and family, not as a protective gear for the head. Considering its relatively good condition, we think this Jingasa is also one of these Jingasas. Even the inside is lacquered gorgeously, and the front has a beautiful curved shape. Jingasas, which were produced in that period, have artistic and stylish beauty. A theory says that high-ranked Samurai warriors enjoyed wearing these Jingasas when they went out for business, and even some of them changed Jingasas, adopting it to seasons. We hope you enjoyed the history of the Jingasa and would be attracted to the charm of this work.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Please focus on the front and the backside of this Jingasa. You would find a golden crest is designed on each side. This crest is categorized as the Sujikai Mon (\u76f4\u9055\u6587) and is called the Niwa Sujikai Mon (\u4e39\u7fbd\u76f4\u9055\u6587). Its design comes from the shape of Sangi (\u7b97\u6728, tool for calculation) and Ki (\u6728, wood). It is an X-shaped crest made by intersecting two straight lines and is also called the Chigai Bou (\u9055\u3044\u68d2) or Nihon Bashi Uchi Chigai (\u4e8c\u672c\u7bb8\u6253\u3061\u9055\u3044). Niwa Nagahide (\u4e39\u7fbd \u9577\u79c0, 1535-1585) used this family crest. He served the famous Oda Nobunaga (\u7e54\u7530 \u4fe1\u9577, 1534-1582) and supported his efforts to unify the world. He was one of Nobunaga\u2019s vassals who played an important role. We are unsure whether his subordinates used this Jingasa or not. Please enjoy considering this as just one of the possibilities. \u00a0A small piece of paper with letters written on Kanji (\u6f22\u5b57, a type of Japanese character) is pasted inside this Jingasa. It is written as \u62fe\u58f1s were produced in large numbers with the same design, so numbering them might have made it easier to identify who belonged to these Jingasas.<\/span><\/p>\n \u3010About us\u3011<\/span><\/strong> \u3010Payment Method\u3011<\/strong> \u3010Shipping Duration\u3011<\/strong><\/span> *Please keep in mind there is possible delay expected in delivery with EMS in some countries due to the pandemic in the world.
