Decorative Kabuto #08 — Dragon Crest [Limited Edition]
Decorative Kabuto — Shikisho No. 8, Dragon Crest [Limited Edition]
This limited-edition kabuto is distinguished by its authentic traditional construction, featuring a Tomogaeshi Shikoro (neck guard with an outward-curving lower edge), crafted using the traditional Shikisho technique.
The brilliant combination of gold-plated armor scales and vivid vermilion-red silk lacing creates an elegant and striking appearance. The long kuwagata (horn-shaped helmet crest) and the beautifully carved wooden dragon crest, finished with genuine gold leaf, add a distinctive sense of artistry and refinement.
Every detail reflects the beauty of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, incorporating genuine gold-leaf gilding, gold-plated ornamental metal fittings with a brilliant polished finish, deerskin decorated with Karajishi-Botan (Lion and Peony) motifs, and a hand-carved wooden dragon crest adorned with genuine gold leaf.
Compact in size yet rich in presence and dignity, this kabuto embodies the timeless elegance of a classic Kyoto-style helmet.
