Item Description
This is a Japanese jingasa (陣笠)
At the center of the crown, a bold gold-painted kamon (家紋, family crest) is prominently displayed: the Maru-ni Tachibana (丸に橘) — a tachibana citrus blossom enclosed within a circle. The tachibana is Japan's only native citrus, revered since ancient times as the fruit of eternal life said to have been brought from the realm of the gods. The tachibana crest ranks among the ten most widely used family crests in Japan, carrying deep associations with nobility, longevity, and auspicious fortune.
