Final price reduction for a kabuto-bachi (helmet) made in the Edo period. This kabuto-bachi has a fantastic forged steel appearance. The hachimaki (headband) part has been repaired, but the original forehead padding from the time of creation remains on the back of the kabuto-bachi, so it can still be worn today. This is a genuine article, unlike replicas or reproductions (modern ones). It is said that Toshizo Hijikata, the vice-commander of the Shinsengumi, also used a kabuto-bachi of the same type as this one. This is the final price reduction and final listing for this item. As a special offer, a paulownia wood box (modern) for storing the kabuto-bachi will be included at the same price. (See photos 17-20) Thank you.
