There are also 2 types of Zunari Kabuto made from 3 plates: these two types are called Hineno and Etchû kabuto. They are almost identical except for one key difference: the central plate in the Hineno Kabuto goes under the visor; in the Etchû Kabuto, it overlaps the visor. | |
歴史 History | This style (Zunari Kabuto) has been in demand since the 16th century until the 19th century, because the light and the same time offered a good protection! Obviously the simple construction was very successful with the Daimyôs in order to be able to supply their army in a quick way. |
The Hineno Zunari Kabuto model was designed by a gunsmith named Hineno Oribe-no-Kami, who was very popular in the second half of 16th century. The samurai preferred this model in battles. | |
According to lore, the Wakidate, since they are so large, were mistaken for a kata Sashimono- a flag inserted into the back of an armour and thus became a target of cannon fire. | |
