Perfect for collectors or as a meaningful display piece, this set captures the essence of Japanese craftsmanship and heritage. Likely manufactured between the 1960s and 1980s, this piece reflects the post-war rise in high-quality replicas celebrating Japanese cultural heritage, particularly for Children's Day displays. The helmets design is inspired by the Kamakura period, featuring intricate gilt embellishments that reflect the bold and elegant aesthetic of the era.
This set includes a detailed Kabuto helmet with a striking gilt lion ornament and sword-shaped horns, adding refined details to its design. A wooden stand is provided for an elegant display, along with a purple silk cloth that is lined and sized to drape perfectly over the stand, both protecting and showcasing the helmet.
