About the Kabuto:
Edo period (1615-1868), 18th century
Comes with certificate of supein Nihonto.
Exceptional quality and very personal kabuto from the middle of the Edo period, in excellent condition. This kabuto has some dragonflies (Tombo) in each fukigaeshi and also a beautiful articulated maedate in the form of dragonfly also, so it is very possible that it represented the family coat of arms of his house or perhaps a kind of consonance with his personality, as if it were a spiritual animal. In Japanese culture, the dragonfly is considered the main symbol of the samurai because they always fly forward and never backward. This has the main parallelism in the Busho, or samurai teachings that say that in a combat the attack has to be direct and without doubt. You accept death and attack as if you were going to die, without second thoughts, a pure and real attack. Although many animals represented the samurai spirit, such as the tiger or the dragon, the dragonfly represents the true spirit of combat. A precious historical piece worthy of any museum. The articulated maedate is a piece that in itself is very expensive to manufacture so no doubt belonged to some wealthy samurai or daimyo or feudal lord who could afford a helmet of these characteristics.
