Japanese Antique 19th Century Edo Period Jinkasa (陣笠) Samurai Katana Armor.

Description: Thank you for coming! 【Description】This Jin-gasa (war hat) from the 1850s is a fascinating piece of Japanese history, crafted during the Edo period. Jin-gasa were worn primarily by lower-ranking samurai as a substitute for helmets on the battlefield, providing lightweight protection and identifying the wearer’s allegiance. Unlike formal helmets, Jin-gasa were often used for travel and ceremonial purposes as well, and this particular piece bears the family crest (kamon) of a daimyo, making it easily identifiable in processions. During the Edo period, feudal lords (daimyo) frequently traveled between their territories and Edo (modern-day Tokyo) in grand processions. Crests like the one on this Jin-gasa signified the clan affiliation, helping to distinguish one lord’s procession from another. This Jin-gasa features a dark lacquered surface with a striking gold crest, signifying both its protective purpose and the authority of the clan it represented. The hat has minor wear consistent with its age, adding character and authenticity to this historic artifact. This piece would make a remarkable addition to any collection of Japanese samurai artifacts or Edo-period memorabilia, offering insight into the traditions and loyalties of Japan's feudal past. 【Size】Height: 17 cmDiameter: 39 cm 【About Shippin】We ship worldwide by Fedex or Japan post.
