This item reproduced amply in great detail based from the "Sixty-two-plate-ribbed Kabuto", which had been dedicated for victory set at the Odawara castle led by Takeda Shingen. Using high quality Japanese boxwood, the Kabuto is carved closely with Sixty-two ribs on the surface, and strings of Shikoro or a suspended neck guard. All of works were finished scrupulously with marginal capacity of wooden sculpture. The original Kabuto tied with sixty-two iron plates, which is not only well-fortified but also practical to wear. Ribbed pattern lined orderly to create a delicate refinement. It is such a suitable Kabuto for Shingen who is referred to as "The Tiger of the Kai Area" for his great martial prowess on the battlefield. Front ornament of the extant kabuto is lost in history with no actual image written, but with deep knowledge and research of Takeda Shingenfs personality and related war articles preserved, we presumed this shape of the maedate ornament, and from the joint of it, added a Hanabishi and hoe-shaped helmet crest. It is the first Restoration effort of this Kabuto in complete Japanese history wherein we put and pay with so much historical value and respect deemed appropriate to Shingen's powerful and daunting aura.
