This is a Kubuki original WADA Emi supervised Oja no Kabuto (Helmet) decoration. Supervised by Emi Wada, a leading Japanese costume designer who has won the Academy Award and other accolades, and meticulously handcrafted by traditional craftsman Munemitsu Nakamura, this is a stylish Nanban (Southern Barbarian) armor helmet decoration. The valiant helmet supervised by Emi Wada is beautifully reflected in the tasteful folding screen featuring a carp motif by Ito Jakuchu. The helmet, with its impressive gold-plated front crest, is in the style of the contemporary armor called "Tosei Gusoku," which was popular in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, a fusion of Japanese and Western styles. It also features a contrast of red and black colors unique to Emi Wada. The high-quality helmet, set against the backdrop of the atmospheric carp screen, is a popular decoration that elegantly colors the celebration of a special day, conveying a sense of both valor and elegance. May 5th, the Tango no Sekku (Boys' Festival), would be around June 5th today. Why not celebrate it along with the season scented with iris?
