Kabuto(兜)



Do you know what it is?

It's a Kabuto(兜) which is a type of helmet first used by ancient Japanese warriors and in late periods, it became an important part of the traditional Japanese armor worn by the samurai class and their retainers in feudal Japan.

It looks cool, doesn't it?
But it is not only this type. There are many type of Kabuto such as the below picture.




Which one do you like?
I think it's difficult to choose one. Because each Kabuto has a quality all its own.

If you come to Japan, you can see other type of Kabuto.
Also when you go to the Kabuto shop, you can try them on.
If you do that, it would be good experience for you. But be careful, it's too heavy.
