Lot Description
Edo-Period Japanese Hineno Kabuto with Contemporary Hanbo
12" x 13.25 x 12". Black lacquered undercoat finish with some traces of the outer coat of lacquer remaining in places. Hinro Zunari Hineno Kabuto composed of five plates, and mounting a silk cord suspended Shikoro (Aventail), Maedate mounting point, and later pattern small Fukigaeshi formed from the first lame of the Shikoro. Shikoro retains some traces of a textile liner. Helmet is accompanied by a similarly finished steel Hanbo with articulated gorget suspended by silk cord. The Hanbo retains some red lacquer finish to the interior at the chin and cheeks. Interior frown of the helmet is bare with no extant suspension elements remaining. The small pattern Fukigaeshi and highly refined shape of the helmet suggest it to be Edo Period or later. Comes with letter from the retailer, David Pepper, of Okame Japanese Antiquities, who sold this helmet with Hanbo in 2002.
