Thank you very much for viewing this item on Mercari. This item is a collection of antique iron shikoro (neck guard) remnants from a genuine, historical kabuto (helmet) dating back to around 400 years ago. These remnants, which include the side and back sections of the helmet, are valuable historical artifacts. The condition is extremely poor, with the helmet bowl missing and one side of the fukikaeshi (turn-backs) damaged. The appearance of these junk remnants evokes the atmosphere of actual combat use by samurai warriors in the western regions of Japan during that era, conveying a sense of realism and the samurai's philosophy of life and death. Despite the condition, there is value as a historical material, representing a samurai of considerable status, and it embodies the true essence of an antique. For those interested in this collection of antique kabuto shikoro remnants, which have survived hundreds of years, including overseas collectors who occasionally purchase such items, and those who are interested in the Sengoku period and warlords, we hope you will appreciate the historical atmosphere by displaying it in an acrylic case. Thank you for your consideration.
