ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Description of the Kabuto

Helmet type:

Suji-bachi Kabuto

Period: early 20th century — Taishō / early Shōwa

This is a suji-bachi kabuto. The bowl is constructed with clearly defined vertical ribs (suji), riveted together to form a tall, well-balanced profile.

The focal element is the crescent-moon maedate (tsukigata), made of gilded metal with an even, mature patina. Its size is bold but controlled, elegant rather than theatrical, very much in line with early 20th-century revival aesthetics, where classical forms were deliberately echoed with cleaner execution.

The tehen kanamono is finely finished and symmetrical, with a neat radial design typical of workshops operating in the Taishō to early Shōwa period —  still faithful to traditional visual language. The interior of the bachi is properly finished.

The shikoro is composed of black-lacquered lames, laced with dark green and orange-red odoshi, producing a strong yet balanced contrast. 

The fukigaeshi are covered in decorated leather (egawa) with a repeating stamped pattern.
