Kabuto - Japan Edo Period (1600-1868)

Expert

Selected by Julien Gauthier

Very elegant Edo period Maedate for a kabuto The maedate is made from shinchu and features the famous tomoe mon. I bought the piece from a Japanese antiques dealer who specializes in arms and armor. It is an authentic Edo-period piece and not a modern-day replica. The brass adapter that comes with it was custom-made by a Japanese craftsman. Condition: The condition is very reasonable. I have also added a smaller maedate which seems to have been made for a miniature helmet.
